1 Kings 15:11. And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD*, like David his father. 12. And he took away the prostitutes, both male and female, from the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. 13. And also Maacah his mother, he even removed her from being queen because she had made an idol in a grove, and Asa destroyed and burned her idol by the brook Kidron. 14.

And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated and the things which he himself had dedicated into the House of the LORD*, silver, gold, and vessels.
