2 CHRONICLES 14:3 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves:”
He removed the foreign altars and the high places, broke down the pillars, hewed down the Asherim, — Asa implemented religious reform: removing idolatrous altars (הֵסִיר אֶת־מִזְבְּחוֹת הַנֵּכָרִים וְאֶת־הַבָּמוֹת), destroying sacred poles (וַיְנַתֵּץ אֶת־הַמַּצֵּבוֹת וַיְקֻצֹּץ אֶת־הַאֲשֵׁרִים), and eliminating Asherah-poles (sacred trees representing the fertility goddess). The reform reversed Rehoboam's apostasy and Abijah's ambivalence.
