1 Kings 15:11-13
American Standard Version
11 And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, as did David his father. 12 And he put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. 13 And also Maacah his mother he removed from being [a]queen, because she had made an abominable image [b]for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.

New International Version
11 Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father David(A) had done. 12 He expelled the male shrine prostitutes(B) from the land and got rid of all the idols(C) his ancestors had made. 13 He even deposed his grandmother Maakah(D) from her position as queen mother,(E) because she had made a repulsive image for the worship of Asherah. Asa cut it down(F) and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
