Barnes' Notes
Hilkiah - Hilkiah was the father (or grandfather) of Seraiah (compare I Chronicles 6:13-14, with Nehemiah 11:11), high priest at the time of the captivity II Kings 25:18. and ancestor of Ezra the scribe Ezra 7:1.
It is evident from the expressions of this verse that a collection for the repairs of the temple, similar to that established in the reign of Joash II Kings 12:9-10, had been for some considerable time in progress (compare II Chronicles 34:3), and the king now sent to know the result.
