Commentary on 2 Kings 12:16

Theological / Devotional

The trespass money. See Leviticus 5:15-18; Numbers 5:6-8. According to the law of Moses these funds rightfully belonged to the priests and were given to them. When special funds were coming in for the Temple repairs, the priests were not deprived of their regular gifts. But when other funds were being brought in for another purpose, it was altogether unlawful for the priests to misapply those funds to their own selfish ends, and thus thwart the carrying out of vital projects. That cause prospers most which maintains the greatest degree of integrity, making possible confidence and liberality.

Such a course provides means sufficient to carry out every necessary task.
