Even to the artificers and builders gave they it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.

Commentary

Even to the artificers and builders gave they it,.... To the masons and carpenters: to buy hewn stone; to put in the room of that which was decayed or fallen down: and timber for couplings; of boards, beams, and rafters: and to floor the houses; the chambers, the apartments in the temple, which belonged to the priests and Levites: which the kings of Judah had destroyed; the idolatrous ones, who had let them go to decay and ruin, taking no care of them.
