1 Kings 15:13-16
15:13 He also removed Maacah his grandmother
from her position as queen because she had made a loathsome Asherah pole. Asa cut down her Asherah pole and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
15:14 The high places were not eliminated, yet Asa was wholeheartedly devoted to the
Lord throughout his lifetime.
15:15 He brought the holy items that he and his father had made into the
Lord’s temple, including the silver, gold, and other articles.
15:16 Now Asa and King Baasha of Israel were continually at war with each other.
