1 Kings 15:13 in Context — 1 Kings 15

11 Asa fit ce qui est droit aux yeux de l’Éternel, comme David, son père.

12 Il ôta du pays les prostitués, et il fit disparaître toutes les idoles que ses pères avaient faites.

13 Et même il enleva la dignité de reine à Maaca, sa mère, parce qu’elle avait fait une idole pour Astarté. Asa abattit son idole, et la brûla au torrent de Cédron.

14 Mais les hauts lieux ne disparurent point, quoique le cœur d’Asa fût en entier à l’Éternel pendant toute sa vie.

15 Il mit dans la maison de l’Éternel les choses consacrées par son père et par lui-même, de l’argent, de l’or et des vases.
