Exegesis
The adverb gam {גַּם | gam} resumes focus and, together with the demonstrative hahu {הַהוּא | hahûʾ} ‘that’, re-points to the already-described altar and its associated high place before the decisive verb natatz {נָתַץ | nāṭaṣ} ‘he tore down’.
In context — 2 Kings 23:15
And also the altar that was in Bethel , the high place that Jeroboam son of Nebat made, who caused Israel to sin; also that altar and the high place he tore down. Then he burned the high place, crushed it to dust , and burned the Asherah pole.
