2 Kings 22:9 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Thy servants. — Hilkiah and I.

Have gathered. — Rather, have poured outi.e., from the alms-chest into the bags.

In the house. — In the wider sense of the word, as including the outer court (2 Kings 12:9). Chronicles reads “in the house of the Lord,” which is probably right. So LXX., Vulg., Arabic here.

2 Kings 22:9

9 And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have gatheredb the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD.
