     * the king's.

     * scribe.  or, secretary.  put up.  Heb. bound up.
     # 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(9c2e) 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 ch. 5:23, amounted to a talent.
