King Asa proved to be a godly king by instituting spiritual reforms that removed all idols and prostitution from the land. He made it his priority to worship Yahweh and made it mandatory for every Jew and sojourner. He removed the foreign altars and high places and even removed his own grandmother from the position of queen mother because of her involvement in idolatry. Asa's reforms brought about a time of peace and prosperity for Judah.
