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.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Howbeit there were not made for the house of the Lord, bowls of silver,.... Either to hold the blood of the sacrifices, or the drink offerings of wine:

snuffers; to trim the lamps; or, as Jarchi and other writers, both Jewish and Christian, musical instruments:

basins; vessels to sprinkle the blood with, as the word signifies:

trumpets; silver ones, to call the assembly, blow over the sacrifices, c.

any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver for any other use: these were not made

of the money that was brought into the house of the Lord; yet, in

2 Chronicles 24:14, it is said they were, which is to be reconciled thus; they did not make any of those things at first, until the house was repaired, and the charges of it defrayed; and then of what remained they made vessels for the house, which were wanting, that Athaliah had bestowed on Baalim, 2 Chronicles 24:7.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Comparing this verse with the marginal reference, it will be seen that the author of Kings desires to point out, that the repairs were not delayed by any deductions from the money that flowed in. The writer of Chronicles describes what became of the surplus in the chest after the last repairs were completed.

The need of supplying fresh bowls, snuffers, etc., arose from the pollution of those previously used in the temple service by their application to the Baal worship during the reigns of Ahaziah and Athaliah (see 2 Chronicles 24:7).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 12:13. Howbeit there were not made - bowls, c. — That is, there were no vessels made for the service of the temple till all the outward repairs were completed but after this was done, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels of gold and silver; 2 Chronicles 24:14.
