Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 12. - Gave it to such as did the work of the service; i.e. the persons responsible for the work, or "that had the oversight of it" (2 Kings 12:11). Carpenters. It is preferable to render here literally workmen or workers. Probably this clause purports that those responsible, as above, hired masons and workmen. And also such as wrought. Supply the preposition found in the Hebrew text, "to" before "such," and render again the same word (חָרָשֵׁי) literally, workers of iron and brass.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(12) To such as did the work of the service of the house of the Lord.--Heb., to the doer ('oseh) perhaps in a collective sense. Here, as in 1Chronicles 23:24, some MSS., and LXX., Syriac, and Vulgate, read the plural ('ose). So also the Arabic and Targum here. Those who had charge of the building, probably certain Levitical "inspectors of works," are meant. Vulg.: "Qui praeerant operibus domus." Comp. 2Kings 12:11 : "into the hand of the doers of the work, who were charged with the house of the Lord."And hired.--Rather, and they (i.e., the superintendents of works) were (from time to time) hiring masons (hewers) and carpenters. (See 1Chronicles 22:15.)To mend--i.e., to repair (2Chronicles 24:4).The chronicler has abridged here considerably. (Comp. 2Kings 12:12.) . . .
