Exegesis
The relative clause introduced by asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾăšer} ‘which’ plus tsippa {צִפָּה | ṣippāh} ‘he overlaid’ recalls Hezekiah’s earlier embellishment; syntactically it can attach most naturally to the nearer “supports,” yet contextually it can also describe both doors and supports as items he plated.
Root and etymology
consonantstsade–pe–heh
“to overlay, cover”
In context — 2 Kings 18:16
At that time Hezekiah cut off from the doors of the temple of the LORD and from the supports which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and he gave them to the king of Assyria.
