2 Chronicles 34:11 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 34:11

Even to the artificers and builders gave they it
To the masons and carpenters:

to buy hewn stone;
to put in the room of that which was decayed or fallen down:

and timber for couplings;
of boards, beams, and rafters:

and to floor the houses;
the chambers, the apartments in the temple, which belonged to the priests and Levites:

which the kings of Judah had destroyed;
the idolatrous ones, who had let them go to decay and ruin, taking no care of them.

2 Chronicles 34:11 In-Context

9 And they came to Hilkiah, the chief priest, and gave him all the money which had been taken into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the door, had got from Manasseh and Ephraim and those of Israel who had not been taken away as prisoners, and from all Judah and Benjamin and the people of Jerusalem.

10 And they gave it to the overseers of the work of the Lord's house, and the overseers gave it to the workmen working in the house, for building it up and making good what was damaged;

11 Even to the woodworkers and builders to get cut stone and wood for joining the structure together and for making boards for the houses which the kings of Judah had given up to destruction.

12 And the men did the work well; and those who had authority over them were Jahath and Obadiah, Levites of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, who were to be responsible for seeing that the work was done; and others of the Levites, who were expert with instruments of music,

13 Had authority over the transport workers, giving directions to all who were doing any sort of work; and among the Levites there were scribes and overseers and door-keepers.
