1 Kings 15:12
Sodomites - All whom he could find out; but some escaped his observation, as appears from I Kings 22:46. Idols, etc. - And if his father had made them, he had the more need to remove them, that he might cut off the entail of the curse.
10 And he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His grandmother’s name was Maachah the granddaughter of Abishalom.
11 aAsa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as did his father David.
12 aAnd he banished the1 perverted persons from the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
13 Also he removed aMaachah his grandmother from being queen mother, because she had made an obscene image of1 Asherah. And Asa cut down her obscene image and bburned it by the Brook Kidron.
14 aBut the1 high places were not removed. Nevertheless Asa’s bheart was loyal to the Lord all his days.
15 He also brought into the house of the Lord the things which his father ahad dedicated, and the things which he himself had dedicated: silver and gold and utensils.
16 Now there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
