Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Kings 22:7

"Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand; for they dealt faithfully." — 2 Kings 22:7 (ASV)

Howbeit there was. — Only let there be. The words of 2 Kings 22:6–7 are part of the royal mandate.

That was delivered ... they dealt.— That is given ... they deal. In 2 Kings 12:14; 2 Kings 12:16 the same construction is used in a different sense. (See the Notes there.)
