1 Kings 15:12-14

International Children’s Bible

¹² There were male prostitutes at the places where false gods were worshiped. Asa forced them to leave the country. He also took away the idols that his ancestors had made. ¹³ His grandmother Maacah had made a terrible Asherah idol. So Asa removed her from being queen. He cut down this idol and burned it in the Kidron Valley. ¹⁴ Asa was faithful to the Lord all his life. But he did not destroy the places where false gods were worshiped.
