Dan apabila dilihat mereka bahwa sudah banyak uang dalam peti itu, maka datanglah panitera raja beserta imam besar, lalu membungkus dan menghitung uang yang terdapat dalam rumah TUHAN itu.
Setelah dilihatnya adalah banyak uang di dalam peti itu, datanglah seorang jurutulis baginda serta dengan imam besar, lalu dibubuhnya segala uang itu dalam pundi-pundi dan dibilangnya akan segala uang yang terdapat dalam rumah Tuhan itu.

Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
the king's: 2 Kings 19:2, 2 Kings 22:3, 2 Kings 22:12, 2 Samuel 8:17, 2 Samuel 20:25
scribe: or, secretary
put up: Heb. bound up, 2 Kings 5:23
in bags: Sir J. Chardin informs us, "it is a custom of Persia always to seal up bags of money; and the money of the king's treasure is not told, but is received by bags sealed up." These are what are called in the East purses; each of which, as Maillet informs us, contains money to the amount of 1,500 livres, or about 63. of our money. The money thus collected for the reparation of the temple, seems, in like manner, to have been reckoned in bags of equal value to each other; as we can scarcely imagine the placing it in bags would otherwise have been mentioned. The value of a Jewish purse is unknown; but the bags mentioned in 2 Kings 5:23, amounted to a talent.
Reciprocal: 2 Chronicles 24:11 - at what time

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest,.... Which might easily be guessed at by the number of the people which contributed:
that the king's and the high priest came up; to the temple; the high priest did not choose to come alone, lest he should be suspected, but to have the king's secretary with him, that the money might be taken out of the chest, and told in the presence of them both: in 2 Chronicles 24:11 instead of the "high priest", it is the "high priest's officer", which the Targum there calls the Sagan of the high priest, or his deputy, who, perhaps, attended when the high priest could not:
and they put up in bags, and told the money that was found in the house of the Lord; that is, they poured the money out of the chest, or emptied it, as in 2 Chronicles 24:11 and counted it, and very likely set down the sum in writing, and put it up in bags, very probably sealed.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The king’s scribe - Or “secretary” (1 Kings 4:3 note). Such persons are often seen in the Assyrian sculptures, with a roll, apparently of parchment, in one hand and a pen in the other, taking account for the king of the spoil brought in from foreign expeditions.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 12:10. The king's scribe and the high priest — It was necessary to associate with the high priest some civil authority and activity, in order to get the neglected work performed.
