Bible verse
and he reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His grandmother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.
1 Kings 15:10 · BSB
The verses around it, from 1 Kings 15.
6 And there was war between the houses of Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of Abijam’s life.
7 As for the rest of the acts of Abijam, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
8 And Abijam rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David, and his son Asa reigned in his place.
9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam’s reign over Israel, Asa became king of Judah,
10 and he reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His grandmother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.
11 And Asa did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, as his father David had done.
12 He banished the male shrine prostitutes from the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
13 He also removed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made a detestable Asherah pole. Asa chopped down the pole and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
14 The high places were not removed, but Asa’s heart was fully devoted to the LORD all his days.
