Then, in the twentieth year of Jeroboam, the king of Israel, Asa reigned as king of Judah.
And he reigned for forty-one years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.
And Asa did what was right before the sight of the Lord, just as his father David did.
And he took away the effeminate from the land. And he purged all the filth of the idols, which his fathers had made.
Moreover, he also removed his mother, Maacah, from being the leader in the sacrifices of Priapus, and in his sacred grove which she had consecrated. And he destroyed his grotto. And he shattered the very indecent idol, and he burned it at the torrent Kidron.
But the high places, he did not take away. Yet truly, the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord during all his days.
And he brought the things that his father had sanctified and vowed back to the house of the Lord: the silver, and the gold, and the vessels.
