2 Chronicles 29:3

He in the first year of his reign, in the first month ,.... And, as appears from 2 Chronicles 29:17 , on the first day of the month:

opened the doors of the house of the Lord ; which his father had shut, 2 Chronicles 28:24 .

and repaired them ; or strengthened them, the hinges, and other parts of them, being loosened and weakened; and ornamented them by overlaying them with gold, the plates of which very probably his father had taken off; for, certain it is, Hezekiah overlaid them, and very probably at this time, see 2 Kings 18:16 .
