Auch setzte Asa, der König, ab Maacha, seine Mutter, daß sie nicht mehr Herrin war, weil sie der Ascherah ein Greuelbild gestiftet hatte. Und Asa rottete ihr Greuelbild aus und zerstieß es und verbrannte es am Bach Kidron.
Y aun a Maachâ madre del rey Asa, él mismo la depuso de su dignidad, porque había hecho un ídolo en el bosque: y Asa deshizo su ídolo, y lo desmenuzó, y quemó en el torrente de Cedrón.
También depuso a Maaca, madre del rey Asa, de su puesto de reina madre, porque había hecho una imagen abominable de Asera. Asa cortó su imagen abominable, la hizo pedazos y la quemó en el torrente Cedrón.
Le roi Asa enleva même à Maaca, sa mère, la dignité de reine, parce qu'elle avait fait une idole pour Astarté. Asa abattit son idole, qu'il réduisit en poussière, et la brûla au torrent de Cédron.
Il re Asa rimosse ancora Maaca, sua madre, dal governo; perciocchè ella avea fatto un idolo per un bosco; ed Asa spezzò l’idolo di essa, e lo tritò, e l’arse nella valle di Chidron.
E também a Maaca, sua mãe, o rei Asa depôs, para que não fosse mais rainha, porquanto fizera um horrível ídolo, a Asera; e Asa destruiu o seu horrível ídolo, e o despedaçou, e o queimou junto ao ribeiro de Cedrom.
