What is the meaning of "v'Hutzav Gulesah Ho'alasah"?

1.

Rashi: The queen, who stands to the king's right - "Nitzevah Shegal li'Yminecha" (Tehilim 45:10), she was openly exiled and raised from the city.

2.

Radak citing his father: The palace, which stood in serenity many years, now it is melted and revealed. It was covered until now - no stranger passed through. Ho'alasah means 'was cut off', like 'ka'Alos Gadish b'Ito" (Iyov 5:26).

3.

Radak citing R. Shmuel ha'Nagid: The queen's name was Hutzav. Normally, she was hidden in her room, like the conduct of a queen or honored woman - "Kol Kevudah Vas Melech Penimah" (Tehilim 45:14). Now she was revealed and left her room and ascended on the chariot to take her to Galus.

4.

Malbim: The fire was prepared to burn the queen and concubines. Gulesah is the queen. She was put on the fire covered in a Tzav (chair used to carry officers).

What is the meaning of "Mesofefos Al Livcheihen"?
