1 Kings 15:15

Compare all

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.

Abijam' s dedications were made after his victory over Jeroboam, and probably consisted of a portion of the spoils which were the fruit of the battle II Chronicles 13:16-19.

Asa' s dedications may have been made from the spoils of Zerah the Ethiopian, who attacked him in his eleventh year (II Chronicles 14:9, etc.). They were not deposited in the temple until his fifteenth year II Chronicles 15:10, II Chronicles 15:18.
