2 Kings 22:5 - Exposition

And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work, that have the oversight of the house of the Lord. The "doers that have the oversight" are not the actual workmen, but the superintendents or overseers of the workmen, who hired them, looked after them, and paid them. And let them give it to the doers of the work which is in the house of the Lord —let the overseers, i.e; give out the money to the actual workmen, the carpenters, etc; of the next verse— to repair the breaches of the house ; rather, the dilapidation of the house . It is not implied that any violence had been used, such as is required to make a "breach." The "house" had simply been allowed to fall into disrepair.
