2 Chronicles 15:16-18

Living Bible

¹⁶ King Asa even removed his mother Maacah from being the queen mother because she made an Asherah idol; he cut down the idol and crushed and burned it at Kidron Brook. ¹⁷ Over in Israel the idol-temples were not removed. But here in Judah and Benjamin the heart of King Asa was perfect before God throughout his lifetime. ¹⁸ He brought back into the Temple the silver and gold bowls that he and his father had dedicated to the Lord.
