2 Chronicles 15:16-18

International Standard Version

¹⁶ King Asa removed his mother Maacah from her position as Queen Mother because she had made a detestable image dedicated to Asherah.^[a] He cut down his mother’s idol, crushed it, and burned it at the Kidron Brook. ¹⁷ Nevertheless, the high places were not removed from Israel, even though Asa’s heart was blameless all of his life. ¹⁸ Asa brought into God’s Temple the things that his father had dedicated, as well as his own dedicated gifts such as silver, gold, and temple service^[b] implements.
