2 Kings 16:8

16:8 Then Ahaz took the silver and gold that were ³  in the Lord’s temple and in the treasuries of the royal palace and sent it as tribute ⁴  to the king of Assyria.

2 Kings 22:4

22:4 “Go up to Hilkiah the high priest and have him melt down ⁵  the silver that has been brought by the people to the Lord’s temple and has been collected by the guards at the door.

[12:15]  ¹ tn Heb “gave.”

[12:15]  ² tn Heb “and they did not conduct a reckoning of the men who gave the silver into their hand to give to the doers of the work, for in honesty they were working.”

[16:8]  ³ tn Heb “that was found.”

[16:8]  ⁴ tn Or “bribe money.”

[22:4]  ⁵ tc The MT has וְיַתֵּם (vÿyattem), “and let them add up” (Hiphil of תָּמָם [tammam], “be complete”), but the appearance of הִתִּיכוּ (hitikhu), “they melted down” (Hiphil of נָתַךְ [natakh], “pour out”) in v. 9 suggests that the verb form should be emended to וְיַתֵּךְ (vÿyattekh), “and let him melt down” (a Hiphil of נָתַךְ [natakh]). For a discussion of this and other options see M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 281.
