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.
17 And aBaasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built bRamah, cthat he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
