Amaziah succeeds him Whenever the chest was brought The chest here refers to a collection box used for gathering funds for the repair of the temple.

This highlights the reverence and dedication to restoring the temple, a central place of worship and symbol of God's presence among His people. by the Levites to the king’s officials and they saw that there was a large amount of money the royal scribe and the officer of the high priest would come and empty the chest and carry it back to its place They did this daily and collected a great amount of money At what time the chest was brought.--Literally, at the time when one used to bring the chest to the royal inspection (or, to the king's officers p?qudd?h), by the hand of the Levites; i.e., whenever the chest was brought, &c. The chronicler, as usual, is careful to record the participation of the Levites in the business. The king's scribe and the high priest's officer came and emptied the chest.--Rather, the king's scribe (or accountant) and the high priest's officer would come in and empty the chest; and they (i.e., the Levites) would take it up and restore it to its place. Kings has: "The king's scribe and the high priest came up, and bound up and counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord." The substitution of "the high priest's officer" for "the high priest" seems to be made in the interest of the high priest's dignity. In the time of the chronicler the high priesthood was invested with all the greater majesty in that the monarchy was a thing of the distant past. Day by day.--That is, time after time, as often as the chest seemed full (l?yom b?yom). The Hebrew phrase only occurs here. (Comp. 1Chronicles 12:22.) Verse 11. - Unto the king's office. Not "office" in the modern technical business sense; the meaning is the care, charge, or custody of the king, the Hebrew word being פְקֻדַּת; nor does this necessitate the supposition of the personal care of the king. The body of this verse leaves it quite open to possibility, in harmony with the usage of the Hebrew language and its idiom, that the process described took place, if necessary, more than once in a day, and, on the other hand, not necessarily every evening. The change of the number of the verb in "they emptied," etc., and the apparent statement that those who emptied also carried back the chest, betoken that while the king's scribe (1 Kings 4:3) and the high priest's officer stood by, the usual Levite functionaries did the work. The phrase, day by day, is not necessarily equivalent to every evening, but to time after time.Parallel Commentaries ...
