Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king’s office by the hand of the Levites, etc.] The place where his officer or officers met, appointed for this service; very probably in one of the chambers of the temple, and when they saw that there was much money: (see <121210>2 Kings 12:10), the king’s scribe; or secretary: and the high priest’s officer; his “sagan”, or deputy priest: came and emptied the chest; poured out the money, and told it, and put it up in bags, (<121210>2 Kings 12:10) and took it, and carried it to its place again, (<142408>2 Chronicles 24:8), by the hands of the Levites that brought it; and thus they did day by day; as often as the chest was full, or they perceived there was much in it: and gathered money in abundance; enough to repair the house, ornament it, and furnish it with vessels that were wanting.
