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.

Jozachar . This person is called Zabad in Chronicles , and Shimeath his mother is said to be an Ammonitess; and Jehozabad is said to be the son , not of Shomer , but of Shimrith , a Moabitess. Who the fathers of these two persons were we know not; they were probably foreigners and aliens.
