16 Also he removed ^aMaachah, the mother of Asa the king, from being queen mother, because she had made an obscene image of² Asherah; and Asa cut down her obscene image, then crushed and burned it by the Brook Kidron.

17 But ^athe high places were not removed from Israel. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was loyal all his days.

18 He also brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated and that he himself had dedicated: silver and gold and utensils.

19 And there was no war until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.

2 Chronicles 15:18

The things that his father had dedicated - As it was a custom to dedicate a part of the spoils taken from an enemy to the service and honor of God, it is natural to suppose that Abijah, having so signally overthrown Jeroboam, (II Chronicles 13:15-19), had dedicated a part of the spoils to the Lord; but they had not been brought into the temple till this time.

Silver , and gold , and vessels - The word kelim , which we translate vessels, signifies instruments, utensils, ornaments, etc.
