ge.vi.rah denotes a royal woman, including women identified in the verses as queen mothers.

The term marks a royal female status: the verses speak of a queen beside a king, of a named queen, and of women identified as queen mothers. In the accounts of Maacah and in Jeremiah's notice of the deported court, that status is specifically associated with the king's mother.

1. Royal woman, including a queen mother · dominant

   The feminine singular absolute form occurs for Tahpenes in 1 Kings 11:19, for Maacah's removed position in 1 Kings 15:13 and 2 Chronicles 15:16, and for the woman addressed with the king in Jeremiah 13:18. In 2 Kings 10:13 it is part of the family greeting directed toward the sons of the king and the queen, while Jeremiah 29:2 explicitly places the queen mother among the departed court; the APB renders these contexts with “queen,” “queen mother,” and “position as queen.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “queen” in several royal contexts and as “queen mother” where Maacah and the deported court are described. Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these renderings indicate the clauses' presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent.
