- 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 63£. 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. 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 24:14,) to replace those which had been taken
  away by Athaliah and her sons.

   * 2Ch 24:23,24

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
