## 1 Kings 15:12 in Context (Verses 9–15 KJV)
 
 [9 ](/kjv/1-kings/15/9) ¶ And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/1-kings/15/10) And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name *was* Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.*
 
 [11 ](/kjv/1-kings/15/11) And Asa did *that which was* right in the eyes of the LORD, as *did* David his father.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/1-kings/15/12) And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/1-kings/15/13) 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.*
 
 [14 ](/kjv/1-kings/15/14) But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa’s heart was perfect with the LORD all his days.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/1-kings/15/15) 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.*
