2 Kings 12:10 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Kings 12:10

8 And the priests agreed that they would neither receive more money from the people, nor repair the damages of the temple.

9 Then Jehoiada the priest took ^aa chest, bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of the Lord; and the priests who¹ kept the door put ^bthere all the money brought into the house of the Lord.

10 So it was, whenever they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king’s ^ascribe and the high priest came up and² put it in bags, and counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord.

11 Then they gave the money, which had been apportioned, into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the house of the Lord; and they¹ paid it out to the carpenters and builders who worked on the house of the Lord,

12 and to masons and stonecutters, and for buying timber and hewn stone, to ^arepair the damage of the house of the Lord, and for all that was paid out to repair the temple.

13 However ^athere were not made for the house of the Lord basins of silver, trimmers, sprinkling-bowls, trumpets, any articles of gold or articles of silver, from the money brought into the house of the Lord.

14 But they gave that to the workmen, and they repaired the house of the Lord with it.
