Jehoiada the priest took a chest By the king's order, 2 Chronicles 24:8. And set it beside the altar In the court of the priests. Upon comparing the passage in Chronicles, just referred to, with this, it seems probable that it was first placed by the altar, and afterward removed thence to the gate of the court, for the people's greater satisfaction, that they might come thither, and put in their money with their own hands.
