Exegesis
The second clause opens with u·pit·tach {וּפִתַּ֥ח | u·pit·tach} ‘and he carved’, another vav-consecutive Piel imperfect, followed by keruvim {כְּרוּבִ֖ים | ke·ru·vim} ‘cherubim’ and the prepositional phrase al-ha-kirot {עַל־הַקִּירֽוֹת | ʿal·ha·ki·rot} ‘upon the walls’, paralleling the lavish gold overlay with sculpted sacred imagery.
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.
