Verse 11
(11) Even to . . . builders.—And they gave it to the craftsmen and to the builders.
For couplings.—For the couplings or girders; an explanation added by the chronicler.
And to floor . . . destroyed.—Kings, “to repair the house.” The reference to the defacement of the Temple buildings by idolatrous kings may be compared with the similar notice concerning Athaliah’s sons, 2 Chronicles 24:7, and Ahaz, 2 Chronicles 28:24. Perhaps, however, the expression “destroyed” does not mean more than “allowed to go to ruin.”
To floor.—To rafter, or joist. (See margin.)
The houses.—The chambers.
