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.
14But the high places were not taken away: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with Jehovah all his days.
