Contextual Overview
4Joash said to the priests, "There is much money in the Lord 's Temple. People have given things to the Temple and have paid the Temple tax when they were counted. And they have given money simply because they wanted to. You priests should take that money and repair the Lord 's Temple. Each priest should use the money he gets from the people he serves. He should use that money to repair the damage to the Temple." 6 In the 23rd year that Joash was king, the priests still had not repaired the Temple, 7 so King Joash called for Jehoiada the priest and the other priests. Joash said to them, "Why haven't you repaired the Temple? Stop taking money from the people you serve. That money must be used to repair the Temple." 8 The priests agreed to stop taking money from the people, but they also decided not to repair the Temple. 9 So Jehoiada the priest took a box and made a hole in the top of it. Then he put the box on the south side of the altar. This box was by the door where people came into the Lord 's Temple. Some of the priests were there to guard this doorway. They took the money that people brought for the Lord 's temple and put it into this box. 10 Whenever the king's secretary and the high priest saw that the box was full, they counted all the money that had been given for the Lord 's Temple and put it in bags. 11 Then they paid the men who were in charge of the work on the Lord 's Temple. They paid the carpenters and other builders who worked on the Lord 's Temple. 12 They used that money to pay the stoneworkers and stonecutters, and they used it to buy timber, cut stone, and everything else to repair the Lord 's Temple. 13People gave money for the Lord 's Temple, but the priests could not use this money to make silver cups, snuffers, basins, trumpets, or any of the gold and silver dishes that were to be used inside the Lord 's temple. This money was used only to pay the workers who repaired the Lord 's Temple. 15 Those who were in charge of paying the workers did not have to give a report of how they spent the money, because they could be trusted.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Moreover, they reckoned not with the men into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on the workmen,.... That is, the king's secretary and the high priest, or his officer, never called to account the overseers of the workmen, to whom they committed the money to pay them with; never examined how they laid it out, and for what:
for they dealt faithfully; they saw they acted such an honest and upright part, and such an high opinion had they of them, that they never examined their accounts, or called for their bills.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 12:15. They reckoned not with the men — They placed great confidence in them, and were not disappointed, for they dealt faithfully.
