Exegesis
The main predicate kitsats {קִצַּץ | qiṣṣaṣ} ‘he cut off’ is followed by two coordinated direct objects marked with ʾeṯ: et-daltot heikhal YHWH {אֶת־דַּלְת֨וֹת הֵיכַ֤ל יְהוָה | ʾeṯ-daltôṯ hêḵāl Yə-hō-wāh} ‘the doors of the temple of the LORD’ and ve'et-ha'omnot {וְאֶת־הָאֹ֣מְנ֔וֹת | wə-ʾeṯ-hā-ʾomnōṯ} ‘and the supports.’
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.
