Exegesis
The appositional identification khizqiyyah melekh yehudah {חִזְקִיָּה מֶ֣לֶךְ יְהוּדָ֑ה | ḥizqiyyāh meleḵ yəhûḏāh} ‘Hezekiah, king of Judah’ heightens the irony: the same king who adorned these elements now removes what he added.

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.
