John Gill Commentary 2 Chronicles 29:7

"Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt-offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel." — 2 Chronicles 29:7 (ASV)

Also they have shut up the doors of the porch
So that there was no entering into the temple, (2 Chronicles 28:24)

and put out the lamps ;
for the priests not being able to go in morning and evening to light them, and dress them, they in course went out; the Jews say ^F14 , that on the eighteenth of Ab, which answers to part of July and August, the western lamp was extinct in the days of Ahaz, for which a fast was kept on that day:

and have not burnt incense, nor offered burnt offerings in the holy
place unto the God of Israel ;
but had done these in the high places to idols, (2 Chronicles 28:3 2 Chronicles 28:4 2 Chronicles 28:24 2 Chronicles 28:25) .
