1 Koenige 15:9-15
Hoffnung für Alle
König Asa von Juda (2. Chronik 14,1‒4; 15,16‒19; 16,1‒6.11‒14)
9 Asa wurde König von Juda im 20. Regierungsjahr König Jerobeams von Israel. 10 Er regierte 41 Jahre in Jerusalem. Als er König wurde, behielt seine Großmutter Maacha, die Enkelin von Abischalom, die einflussreiche Stellung der Königinmutter. 11 Wie sein Vorfahre David tat auch Asa, was dem Herrn gefiel. 12 Er jagte alle aus dem Land, die bei den Heiligtümern der Prostitution nachgingen, und vernichtete die widerlichen Götterfiguren, die sein Vater und sein Großvater angefertigt hatten. 13 Seine Großmutter Maacha entließ er aus ihrer wichtigen Stellung als Königinmutter, weil sie für die Aschera einen abscheulichen Götzenpfahl aufgestellt hatte. Den Pfahl ließ er in Stücke hauen und im Kidrontal verbrennen. 14 Zwar blieben die Opferstätten auch unter Asas Herrschaft bestehen, aber sonst diente er dem Herrn von ganzem Herzen, solange er lebte. 15 Alle goldenen und silbernen Gegenstände, die sein Vater dem Herrn geweiht hatte, brachte er in den Tempel, zusammen mit seinen eigenen Geschenken für das Heiligtum.

New International Version
Asa King of Judah(A)(B)
9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa became king of Judah, 10 and he reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His grandmother’s name was Maakah(C) daughter of Abishalom.
11 Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father David(D) had done. 12 He expelled the male shrine prostitutes(E) from the land and got rid of all the idols(F) his ancestors had made. 13 He even deposed his grandmother Maakah(G) from her position as queen mother,(H) because she had made a repulsive image for the worship of Asherah. Asa cut it down(I) and burned it in the Kidron Valley. 14 Although he did not remove(J) the high places, Asa’s heart was fully committed(K) to the Lord all his life. 15 He brought into the temple of the Lord the silver and gold and the articles that he and his father had dedicated.(L)

New King James Version
Asa Reigns in Judah(A)
9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa became king over Judah. 10 And he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His grandmother’s name was Maachah the granddaughter of Abishalom. 11 (B)Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as did his father David. 12 (C)And he banished the [a]perverted persons from the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. 13 Also he removed (D)Maachah his grandmother from being queen mother, because she had made an obscene image of [b]Asherah. And Asa cut down her obscene image and (E)burned it by the Brook Kidron. 14 (F)But the [c]high places were not removed. Nevertheless Asa’s (G)heart was loyal to the Lord all his days. 15 He also brought into the house of the Lord the things which his father (H)had dedicated, and the things which he himself had dedicated: silver and gold and utensils.
