Now when Asa H609 heard H8085 these H428 words H1697 and the [fn]prophecy H5016 which Azariah H5838 the son of Oded H5752 the prophet H5030 spoke, he strengthened H2388 himself and took H5674 away H5674 the detestable H8251 idols H8251 from all H3605 the land H776 of Judah H3063 and Benjamin H1144 and from the cities H5892 which H834 he had captured H3920 in the hill H2022 country H2022 of Ephraim H669. He then renewed H2318 the altar H4196 of Yahweh H3068 which H834 was in front H6440 of the porch H197 of Yahweh H3068.
He also H1571 removed H5493 Maacah H4601, the mother H517 of King H4428 Asa H609, from being queen H1377 mother H1377, because H834 she had made H6213 a horrid H4656 image H4656 [fn]as an Asherah H842; and Asa H609 cut H3772 down H3772 her horrid H4656 image H4656, crushed H1854 it and burned H8313 it at the brook H5158 Kidron H6939.
