Asa’s Reign over Judah In the twentieth year of Jeroboam’s reign over Israel, Asa became the king of Judah.
He ruled for forty-one years in Jerusalem. His grandmother was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.
Asa did what the LORD approved like his ancestor David had done.
He removed the male cultic prostitutes from the land and got rid of all the disgusting idols his ancestors had made.
He also removed Maacah his grandmother from her position as queen mother because she had made a loathsome Asherah pole. Asa cut down her loathsome pole and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
The high places were not eliminated, yet Asa was wholeheartedly devoted to the LORD throughout his lifetime.
He brought the holy items that he and his father had made into the LORD’s temple, including the silver, gold, and other articles.
