Tikvath] R.V. Tokhath. In 2 Kin. “Tikvah.”
Hasrah] In 2 Kin. “Harhas.”
keeper of the wardrobe] Lit. “keeper of the garments.” The Heb. word for garments (bĕgâdim) is applied to a king’s robes (2Ch_18:29), to a high priest’s vestments (Exo_28:2; Exo_28:4), and to clothes in general; it is therefore not easy to say what office precisely is here referred to. Some in consideration of 2Ki_10:22 have thought that the garments here meant were ecclesiastical and not royal.
in the college] R.V. in the second quarter; so Zep_1:10 (R.V.). A second, newer division of the city seems to be meant, but precisely what part is not known. Cp. Neh_11:9 (with Ryle’s note on second over the city).

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers 1878 · Public Domain (22) And they that the king had appointed.—The Hebrew…
(22) And they that the king had appointed.—The Hebrew text is defective. We may restore it from the LXX., “and they whom the king had commanded”; or better, perhaps, from the Syriac and Vulg., “and all they whom the king sent,” Three MSS. read, “and the king’s princes,” a plausible correction. 2Ki_22:14 adds the names (2Ch_34:20 supra).
Son of Tikvath.—Heb., Tûkahath. Kings, “Tikvah.” The LXX., Θεκωε, the Syriac, Tekwa, and the Vulg., Thecuath, show that Tikvah or Tikvath is right. (The final h and th of Chronicles arise from blending these two equivalent spellings.)

Son of Hasrah.—Kings, son of Harhas. So the LXX., Apày; but the Syriac (Hasdâ) and Vulg. support Hasrah.
In the college.—In the second quarter y i.e., the lower city.
To that effect.—2Ch_32:15 (“on this manner”). Added by the chronicler. The differences in the text of the oracle which follows are mostly due to alteration of the original, which is more exactly given in Kings.

The question may suggest itself, Why was not Jeremiah (2Ch_35:25 2Ch_36:21) at once consulted? Probably he was at Anathoth, and not immediately accessible. Tikvath. In Hebrew, Tokhath; and in parallel, Tikvah. Hasrah. In parallel, Harhas. In the college; Revised Version, following Hebrew, in the (Mishneh) second quarter. (see Zep_1:10; Conder"s "Handbook to the Bible," p. 342) Nothing is known of Huldah, nor of Shallum her husband, except what lies in this and the parallel place.
