Exegesis
The main clause centers on the causative verb hesirah {הֱסִירָהּ֙ | hĕsîrāh} “he removed her,” whose complement migvirah {מִגְּבִירָ֔ה | miggəḇîrāh} specifies removal from an official court role, not merely personal disfavor.
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.
