In context

14They took an oath to the LORD with a loud voice, with shouting, trumpets, and rams’ horns.

15And all Judah rejoiced over the oath, for they had sworn it with all their heart. They had sought Him earnestly, and He was found by them. So the LORD gave them rest on every side.

16King Asa also removed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made a detestable Asherah pole. Asa chopped down the pole, crushed it, and burned it in the Kidron Valley.

17The high places were not removed from Israel, but Asa’s heart was fully devoted all his days.

18And he brought into the house of God the silver and gold and the articles that he and his father had dedicated.
