Exegesis
The Hiphil perfect hēsîr {הֵסִ֛יר | hēsîr} (‘he removed’) takes direct objects introduced by ʾēt {אֶת־ | ʾēt}, namely habbāmôt {הַבָּמ֥וֹת | habbāmôt} (‘the high places’) and hāʾăšērîm {הָאֲשֵׁרִ֖ים | hāʾăšērîm} (‘the Asherah images’).
In context — 2 Chronicles 17:6
And his heart grew bold in the ways of the LORD ; furthermore, he removed the high places and the Asherah images from Judah .
