13And that anyone, small or great, man or woman, who was not true to the Lord, the God of Israel, would be put to death.
14And they made an oath to the Lord, with a loud voice, sounding wind-instruments and horns.
15And all Judah was glad because of the oath, for they had taken it with all their heart, turning to the Lord with all their desire; and he was with them and gave them rest on every side.
16And Asa would not let Maacah, his mother, be queen, because she had made a disgusting image for Asherah; and Asa had her image cut down and broken up and burned by the stream Kidron.
17But the high places were not taken away out of Israel; but still the heart of Asa was true to the Lord all his life.
18He took into the house of God all the things which his father had made holy and those which he himself had made holy, silver and gold and vessels.
19And there was no more war till the thirty-fifth year of the rule of Asa.
