Chronicles II 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.
