2 Chronicles 32:5-6

_ _ he strengthened himself — He made a careful inspection of the city defenses for the purpose of repairing breaches in the wall here, renewing the masonry there, raising projecting machines to the towers, and especially fortifying the lower portion of Zion, that is, Millo, “(in) the original city of David.” “In” is a supplement of our translators, and the text reads better without it, for it was not the whole city that was repaired, but only the lower portion of Zion, or the original “city of David.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary
