11Asa did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, as did David his father.
12He put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
13Also 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 Yahweh all his days.
15He brought into the house of Yahweh the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.
16There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
17Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
