Contextual Overview
4 Jehoash said to the priests, "I place at your disposal all the consecrated silver that has been brought to the Lord 's temple, including the silver collected from the census tax, the silver received from those who have made vows, and all the silver that people have voluntarily contributed to the Lord 's temple. 5 The priests should receive the silver they need from the treasurers and repair any damage to the temple they discover." 6 By the twenty-third year of King Jehoash's reign the priests had still not repaired the damage to the temple. 7 So King Jehoash summoned Jehoiada the priest along with the other priests, and said to them, "Why have you not repaired the damage to the temple? Now, take no more silver from your treasurers unless you intend to use it to repair the damage." 8 The priests agreed not to collect silver from the people and relieved themselves of personal responsibility for the temple repairs. 9 Jehoiada the priest took a chest and drilled a hole in its lid. He placed it on the right side of the altar near the entrance of the Lord 's temple. The priests who guarded the entrance would put into it all the silver brought to the Lord 's temple. 10 When they saw the chest was full of silver, the royal secretary and the high priest counted the silver that had been brought to the Lord 's temple and bagged it up. 11 They would then hand over the silver that had been weighed to the construction foremen assigned to the Lord 's temple. They hired carpenters and builders to work on the Lord 's temple, 12 as well as masons and stonecutters. They bought wood and chiseled stone to repair the damage to the Lord 's temple and also paid for all the other expenses. 13 The silver brought to the Lord 's temple was not used for silver bowls, trimming shears, basins, trumpets, or any kind of gold or silver implements.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
the king's: 2 Kings 19:2, 2 Kings 22:3, 2 Kings 22:12, 2 Samuel 8:17, 2 Samuel 20:25
scribe: or, secretary
put up: Heb. bound up, 2 Kings 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 2 Kings 5:23, amounted to a talent.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest,.... Which might easily be guessed at by the number of the people which contributed:
that the king's and the high priest came up; to the temple; the high priest did not choose to come alone, lest he should be suspected, but to have the king's secretary with him, that the money might be taken out of the chest, and told in the presence of them both: in 2 Chronicles 24:11 instead of the "high priest", it is the "high priest's officer", which the Targum there calls the Sagan of the high priest, or his deputy, who, perhaps, attended when the high priest could not:
and they put up in bags, and told the money that was found in the house of the Lord; that is, they poured the money out of the chest, or emptied it, as in 2 Chronicles 24:11 and counted it, and very likely set down the sum in writing, and put it up in bags, very probably sealed.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The kingâs scribe - Or âsecretaryâ (1 Kings 4:3 note). Such persons are often seen in the Assyrian sculptures, with a roll, apparently of parchment, in one hand and a pen in the other, taking account for the king of the spoil brought in from foreign expeditions.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 12:10. The king's scribe and the high priest — It was necessary to associate with the high priest some civil authority and activity, in order to get the neglected work performed.
