1 Kings 15:8–15

⁸And Abiam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa, his son, reigned in his stead.

⁹So in the twentieth year of Jeroboam, king of Israel, reigned Asa, king of Juda,

¹⁰And he reigned one and forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacha, the daughter of Abessalom.

¹¹And Asa did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as did David, his father:

¹²And he took away the effeminate out of the land, and removed all the filth of the idols, which his fathers had made.

¹³Moreover, he also removed his mother, Maacha, from being the princess in the sacrifices of Priapus, and in the grove which she had consecrated to him: and he destroyed her den, and broke in pieces the filthy idol, and burnt it by the torrent Cedron:

¹⁴But the high places he did not take away. Nevertheless, the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord all his days:

¹⁵And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and he had vowed, into the house of the Lord, silver and gold, and vessels.
