Albert Barnes Commentary 2 Chronicles 34:11

"even to the carpenters and to the builders gave they it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to make beams for the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed." — 2 Chronicles 34:11 (ASV)

The “houses” mentioned are either the “chambers” that surrounded the temple on three sides (1 Kings 6:5) or the out-buildings attached to the courts. The “kings of Judah” referred to are, no doubt, Manasseh and Amon.
