(9) And they made a proclamation.--Literally, uttered a voice (or cry) in Judah. The phrase (nathan qol) occurs here only in this sense. (Comp. Proverbs 1:20.)

To bring in to the Lord.--Comp. 2Chronicles 24:6. The meaning is, To bring into the Temple, for the Lord.

The collection.--Tax, or impost.

This verse, and the next one also, are peculiar to the chronicle. The writer is fond of dwelling on the willingness of the people in the good old time to contribute to the cause of religion; doubtless, by way of suggestion to his own contemporaries. (Comp. 1Chronicles 29:6; 1Chronicles 29:9; 1Chronicles 29:14.) . . .

Verse 9. - (See notes on ver. 6.)
