Clarke's 2-chronicles 32:5 Bible Commentary
Raised it up to the towers - He built the wall up to the height of the towers, or, having built the wall, he raised towers on it.
Barnes's 2-chronicles 32:5 Bible Commentary
The breaches in the wall of Jerusalem were not entirely due to the old hostility of Joash (marginal reference); but may have been caused either by neglect and carelessness in the reign of Ahaz 2 Chronicles 28, or by the simple process of natural decay. Hezekiah pulled down houses for the purpose of his repairs Isaiah 22:10.
On Millo, see the marginal references notes.
