Exegesis
The relative clause asher asfu shomrei ha-saf {אֲשֶׁ֥ר אָסְפ֛וּ שֹׁמְרֵ֥י הַסַּ֖ף | ʾă-šer ʾas-fū šō-mrê ha-saf} precisely defines the source of the silver. English renders the VSO word order as SVO to clarify the relationship between divine command and priestly administration.
In context — 2 Kings 22:4
Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, and let him tally the silver that has been brought into the house of the LORD , which the doorkeepers have gathered from the people.
