1 Kings 15:11-15
New American Standard Bible
11 Now (A)Asa did what was right in the sight of the Lord, like his father David. 12 (B)He also removed the male cult prostitutes from the land and (C)removed all the idols which his fathers had made. 13 And even his mother Maacah, (D)he also removed her from the position of queen mother, because she had made an abominable image [a]as an Asherah; and Asa cut down her abominable image and (E)burned it at the brook Kidron. 14 (F)But the high places [b]were not eliminated; nevertheless (G)Asa’s heart was [c]wholly devoted to the Lord all his days. 15 And (H)he brought into the house of the Lord the [d]holy gifts of his father and his own [e]holy gifts: silver, gold, and valuable utensils.
