What does 2 Kings 18:16 mean?

At that point, Hezekiah took all the silver from the Lord’s temple and the palace treasuries and handed it over. He even stripped the gold off the doors and doorposts of the Lord’s temple—gold he himself had put there—and gave it all away. 2 Kings 18:16 - Modern Text Bible

(Hezekiah, desperate to appease the Assyrian king, gives up the temple’s treasures, even undoing his own earlier acts of devotion. This shows how dire the situation felt to him.)
