Exegesis
The verse begins with vegam-ma'akah {וְגַֽם־מַעֲכָ֞ה | wə-gam-ma‘ăkhāh} “and also Maakah,” using vav + gam to add a further reform measure to the narrative.
In context — 2 Chronicles 15:16
Moreover, King Asa removed Maakah, his mother, from her role as queen mother , because she had made a horrifying image for Asherah. Asa cut down her image, crushed it, and burned it at the Wadi Kidron.
