(9) And when they came . . . they delivered.--And they came . . . and they gave. In 2Kings 22:3-7, the contents of 2Chronicles 34:9-12 a are given in the form of the king's instructions to Shaphan. Here we are told that those instructions were carried out. "They delivered (wayyitt?n-) is substituted for the difficult w?yatt?m of Kings (i.e., "and let him pay out").

From the hand of Manasseh . . . Benjamin.--Kings, "from the people." Reuss oddly imagines that these words denote "a kind of organised collection throughout all Palestine," and then proceeds to draw an inference unfavourable to the chronicler.

And they returned to Jerusalem.--This is the meaning of the Qri or Hebrew margin. The Hebrew text has, "and the inhabitants of Jerusalem," which is correct.

Verse 9. - Hilkiah the high priest. Of Hilkiah's ancestors and descendants we learn something in the following references: 1 Chronicles 6:13, 14; 1 Chronicles 9:11; 2 Kings 25:18; Nehemiah 11:11; Ezra 7:1. They delivered. This means that Hilkiah's people delivered of what they had collected to Shaphan and his colleagues, who again in their turn (ver. 10) "put it into the hand of the workmen,' etc. This is certainly the meaning of 2 Kings 22:4-9. And they returned to Jerusalem; translate, and of the dwellers in Jerusalem. Note Keri, and see 2 Chronicles 35:18; and Septuagint rendering here and there.
