Exegesis
The verse opens with the adversative particle akh {אַךְ | ’aḵ} ‘however,’ marking an exception, followed by the negation lo {לֹא | lōʾ} ‘not’ negating the Niphal imperfect yachashev {יֵחָשֵׁב | yē-ḥā-šêḇ} ‘it will be reckoned.’
In context — 2 Kings 22:7
However, no reckoning is made for the money entrusted into their hands, because they act with faithfulness .
