Exegesis
The conjunction wə-ḡam {וְגַם | wə-ḡam} ‘and also’ introduces a parallel clause, hā-’ă-šē-rāh ’ā-ma-ḏāh bə-šom-rōn {הָאֲשֵׁרָה עָמְדָה בְּשֹמְרוֹן | hā-’ă-šē-rāh ’ā-ma-ḏāh bə-šom-rōn} ‘the Asherah stood in Samaria,’ a nominal clause with Qal perfect indicating ongoing idolatrous presence. English rendering maintains Hebrew word order while adding connectors for clarity and coherence.
In context — 2 Kings 13:6
Yet they did not turn away from the sins of the house of Jeroboam , which he caused Israel to sin; they walked in them, and the Asherah stood in Samaria.
