2 Kings 22:3–9

³And it cometh to pass, in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, the king hath sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of Jehovah, saying, ⁴‘Go up unto Hilkiah the high priest, and he doth complete the silver that is brought into the house of Jehovah, that the keepers of the threshold have gathered from the people, ⁵and they give it into the hand of the doers of the work, the overseers, in the house of Jehovah, and they give it to the doers of the work that is in the house of Jehovah, to strengthen the breach of the house, ⁶to artificers, and to builders, and to repairers of the wall, and to buy wood and hewn stones to strengthen the house; ⁷only, the silver that is given into their hand is not reckoned with them, for in faithfulness they are dealing. ⁸And Hilkiah the high priest saith unto Shaphan the scribe, ‘A book of the law I have found in the house of Jehovah;’ and Hilkiah giveth the book unto Shaphan, and he readeth it. ⁹And Shaphan the scribe cometh in unto the king, and bringeth the king back word, and saith, ‘Thy servants have poured out the silver that hath been found in the house, and give it into the hand of the doers of the work, the inspectors, in the house of Jehovah.’
