Exegesis
Two coordinated prepositional phrases specify destinations: first, bêṯ YHWH {בֵ֥ית־יְהוָ֑ה | bêṯ Yə-hō-wāh} ‘house of the LORD,’ and second, û-wə-’ōṣrōṯ bêṯ ha-melekh {וּבְאֹצְרוֹת בֵּ֥ית הַמֶּֽלֶךְ | û-wə-’ōṣrōṯ bêṯ ha-melekh} ‘and in the treasuries of the king’s house.’ English mirrors this coordination to preserve the parallelism between sacred and royal storehouses, highlighting the transfer of resources from both domains.
Root and etymology
“house, dwelling”
In context — 2 Kings 18:15
And Hezekiah gave all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD and in the treasuries of the king’s palace .
