7And the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
8And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.
9And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Asa to reign over Judah.
10And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mother`s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.
11And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, as did David his father.
12And he put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
13And also Maacah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.
