2 Kings 12:15 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

2 Kings 12:15

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.

15 Moreover ^athey did not require an account from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to be paid to workmen, for they dealt faithfully.

16 ^aThe money from the trespass offerings and the money from the sin offerings was not brought into the house of the Lord. ^bIt belonged to the priests.

Howbeit there were not made . . . bowls, etc.—When the repairs of the temple had been completed, the surplus was appropriated to the purchase of the temple furniture. The integrity of the overseers of the work being undoubted, no account was exacted of the way in which they applied the money given to them, while other moneys levied at the temple were left to the disposal of the priests as the law directed (Leviticus 5:16; Numbers 5:8).
