Exegesis
The relative clause 'asher-`asatah {אֲשֶׁר־עָשְׂתָ֥ה | ʾăšer-ʿāśəṯāh} gives the stated grounds for deposition: the making of miplatset {מִפְלָ֑צֶת | miplāṣeṯ}, described as something dreadful, and directed lā'asherah {לָאֲשֵׁרָ֖ה | lāʾăšērāh} “for Asherah,” marking the act as cultic and unacceptable. The narrative then switches to a rapid chain of vav-consecutive verbs—vayyikrot… vayyadek…
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.
