2 Reyes 22:4 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 22:4

Go up to Hilkiah the high priest
Who had an apartment in the temple; there was an Hilkiah, a priest, in those times, who was the father of Jeremiah the prophet, ( Jeremiah 1:1 Jeremiah 1:2 ) , whom an Arabic writer F12 takes to be the same with this; but it is not likely:

that he may sum the silver which is brought into the house of the Lord
which the people voluntarily offered for the repairing of it; this he would have the priest take an account of, that the sum total might be known; his meaning is, that he should take it out of the chest in which it was put, and count it, that it might be known what it amounted to; see ( 2 Kings 12:9 2 Kings 12:10 ) , some understand this of melting and coining the silver thus given

which the keepers of the door have gathered of the people:
who were Levites, ( 2 Chronicles 34:9 ) , either porters of the door, or rather the treasurers, as the Targum; the keepers of the vessels of the sanctuary, that had the care of them, as the Jewish commentators generally interpret it.

2 Reyes 22:4 In-Context

2 Josías hizo lo que agrada al SEÑOR, pues en todo siguió el buen ejemplo de su antepasado David; no se desvió de él en el más mínimo detalle.
3 En el año dieciocho de su reinado, el rey Josías mandó a su cronista Safán, hijo de Asalías y nieto de Mesulán, que fuera al templo del SEÑOR. Le dijo:
4 «Preséntate ante el sumo sacerdote Jilquías y encárgale que recoja el dinero que el pueblo ha llevado al templo del SEÑOR y ha entregado a los porteros.
5 Ordena que ahora se les entregue el dinero a los que supervisan la restauración del templo del SEÑOR, para pagarles a los trabajadores que lo están reparando.
6 Que les paguen a los carpinteros, a los maestros de obra y a los albañiles, y que compren madera y piedras de cantería para restaurar el templo.
