Exegesis
The construct imo {אִמּוֹ | ʾim-mō} ‘his mother’ specifies her familial role, and the prepositional phrase migvirah {מִגְּבִירָה | mig-vi-rāh} ‘queen mother’ denotes her courtly title.
In context — 1 Kings 15:13
He also removed his mother Maakah from being queen mother because she had made an abomination for Asherah. Then Asa cut down that abomination and burned it at the brook Kidron.
