15 the Lord will strike Israel as a reed is shaken in the water, and ^xroot up Israel out of ^ythis good land that he gave to their fathers and scatter them ^zbeyond the Euphrates,¹ because they have made their ^aAsherim, provoking the Lord to anger.

23 For they also built for themselves ^khigh places ^land pillars and ^mAsherim on every high hill and ⁿunder every green tree,

13 ⁱHe also removed Maacah his mother from being queen mother because she had made an abominable image for Asherah. And Asa cut down her image and ^jburned it at the brook Kidron.

33 And Ahab made an ^pAsherah. Ahab did more to provoke the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger ^kthan all the kings of Israel who were before him.
