← 1 Kings 15:12	1 Kings 15:13 (KJV)	1 Kings 15:14 →
And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.	And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from [being] queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt [it] by the brook Kidron.	But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD all his days.
