John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
2 Kings 12:15
Moreover, they reckoned not with the men into whose hand
they
delivered the money to be bestowed on the
workmen
That is, the king's secretary and the high priest, or his
officer, never called to account the overseers of the workmen, to
whom they committed the money to pay them with; never examined
how they laid it out, and for what:
for they dealt faithfully;
they saw they acted such an honest and upright part, and such an
high opinion had they of them, that they never examined their
accounts, or called for their bills.
