*
Now the rest of the acts of Abijam ,
and all that he did ,
are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah ?
And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam .
*
And Abijam slept with his fathers ;
and they buried him in the city of David :
and Asa his son reigned in his stead .
*
And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah .
*
And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem .
And his mother '
s name was Maachah ,
the daughter of Abishalom .
*
And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD ,
as did David his father .
*
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 .
*
And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated ,
and the things which himself had dedicated ,
into the house of the LORD ,
silver ,
and gold ,
and vessels .
