1 Kings 15:12-14
New International Reader's Version
12 Asa threw out of the land the male prostitutes who were at the temples. He got rid of all the statues of gods made by his people of long ago. 13 He even removed his grandmother Maakah from her position as queen mother. That’s because she had made a pole used to worship the female god named Asherah. The Lord hated it. So Asa cut it down. He burned it in the Kidron Valley. 14 Asa didn’t remove the high places from Israel. But he committed his whole life completely to the Lord.
