Exegesis
The construct chain lə-dal-tōṯ ha-she‘ā-rīm {לְדַלְת֧וֹת הַשְּׁעָרִים | lə-dal-tōṯ ha-she‘ā-rīm} specifies purpose “for the doors of the gates,” while wə-la-ma-ḥə-bə-rōṯ {וְלַמְחַבְּרוֹת | wə-la-ma-ḥə-bə-rōṯ} extends that purpose “for the joinings.”
In context — 1 Chronicles 22:3
And David prepared iron in abundance for nails for the doors of the gates and for the joinings , and he prepared bronze in abundance—beyond weighing.
