3 Now in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliahthe son of Meshullamthe scribe, to the house of the Lord, saying, 4 "Go up to Hilkiahthe high priest, and have him 22:4 Or totalcount all the money brought into the house of the Lord, which the doorkeepers have collected from the people. 5 And have them hand it over to the workmen who have the oversight of the house of the Lord, and have them give it to the workmen who are in the house of the Lord to repair the 22:5 Lit breachdamage to the house: 6 to the carpenters, the builders, the masons, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the house. 7 However, no accounting shall be made with them for the money handed over to them, because they deal honestly."
The Lost Book
8 Then Hilkiahthe high priest said to Shaphanthe scribe, "I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the Lord." And Hilkiahgave the book to Shaphan, who read it. 9 Then Shaphanthe scribe came to the king and brought back word to the king and said, "Your servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house, and have handed it over to the workmen who have the oversight of the house of the Lord." 10 Moreover, Shaphanthe scribe informed the king, saying, "Hilkiahthe priest has given me a book." And Shaphanread it in the presence of the king.
