- scribe.  or, secretary.  put up.  Heb. bound up.
   * 2Ki 5:23
- in bags.
  Sir J. Chardin informs us, "it is a custom of Persia always to
  seal up bags of money; and the money of the king's treasure is
  not told, but is received by bags sealed up."  These are what
  are called in the East purses; each of which, as Maillet
  informs us, contains money to the amount of 1,500 livres, or
  about 63œ. of our money.  The money thus collected for the
  reparation of the temple, seems, in like manner, to have been
  reckoned in bags of equal value to each other; as we can
  scarcely imagine the placing it in bags would otherwise have
  been mentioned.  The value of a Jewish purse is unknown; but
  the bags mentioned in ch. 23 5:23, amounted to a talent.


VERSE 11 
 - gave the money.
   * 2Ki 22:5,6 2Ch 24:11,12; 34:9-11

- was laid out.  Heb. went forth.


VERSE 13 
 - there were not.
  That is, there were no vessels made for the service of the
  temple till all the outward repairs were completed; but, when
  this was done, "they brought the rest of the money before the
  king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels of gold and
  silver," (2 Ch 14 24:14,) to replace those which had been taken
  away by Athaliah and her sons.

   * 2Ch 24:14

VERSE 18 
 - took all the hallowed.
  He dearly bought, by such unhallowed means, a peace which was
  of short duration; for the next year Hazael returned, and
  Jehoash having no more treasures, was obliged to hazard a
  battle, which he lost, and the principal part of his nobility,
  so that Judah was totally ruined, and Jehoash soon after slain
  in his bed by his own servants.

   * 2Ki 18:15,16 1Ki 15:18 2Ch 16:2
- went away.  Heb. went up.


VERSE 19 
 - the rest.
   * 2Ki 8:23 1Ki 11:41; 14:19,29


VERSE 20 
 - his servants.
   * 2Ki 14:5 2Ch 24:24,25; 25:27; 33:24
- the house of Millo.  or, Beth-millo.
   * Jud 9:6 2Sa 5:9 1Ki 11:27


VERSE 21 
 - Jozachar.
  This person is called Zabad in Chronicles, and Shimeath his
  mother is said to be an Ammonitess; and Jehozabad is said to
  be the son, not of Shomer, but of Shimrith, a Moabitess.  Who
  the fathers of these two persons were we know not; they were
  probably foreigners and aliens.  Some suppose that they
  belonged to the king's chamber, and therefore could have easy
  access to him.

   * 2Ch 24:26
- Zabad.  Shomer.
   * 2Ch 24:26
- Shimrith.  Amaziah his son.
   * 2Ch 24:27
