| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
| Howbeit there were not made . . . bowls, &c.--When the repairs of the temple had been completed, the surplus was appropriated to the purchase of the temple furniture. The integrity of the overseers of the work being undoubted, no account was exacted of the way in which they applied the money given to them, while other moneys levied at the temple were left to the disposal of the priests as the law directed (Lev 5:16; Num 5:8). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
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 Ch2 24:7). |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Howbeit there were not made - bowls, etc. - 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; Ch2 24:14. |

7 For the sons [01121] of Athaliah [06271], that wicked [04849] woman, had broken up [06555] the house [01004] of God [0430]; and also all the dedicated things [06944] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] did they bestow [06213] upon Baalim [01168].
