And it happened, at the time Solomon was old, his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, like the heart of his father David.
And he walked in all the ways of his father Asa. He did not turn aside from it, doing right in the eyes of Jehovah. Only, the high places were not taken away; the people offered and burned incense yet in the high places.
And also Maachah the grandmother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen mother, because she had made a horrible image for an Asherah. And Asa cut down her horrible image, and crushed and burned it by the torrent Kidron.
