Exegesis
The particle et {אֶת־ | ʾet-} introduces the direct object ha-bayit {הַבַּ֜יִת | ha·bay·yit} ‘the house’, further defined by coordinated nouns ha-korot {הַקֹּר֧וֹת | ha·ko·rot} ‘the beams’, ha-sippim {הַסִּפִּ֛ים | ha·sip·pim} ‘the thresholds’, ve-kirotav {וְקִֽירוֹתָ֥יו | ve·ki·ro·tav} ‘its walls’, and ve-daltotav {וְדַלְתוֹתָ֖יו | ve·dal·to·tav} ‘its doors’, all linked by vav-conjunctions to convey completeness.
In context — 2 Chronicles 3:7
And he overlaid the house—the beams, the thresholds , its walls, and its doors—with gold; and he carved cherubim on the walls.
