2 Kings 22:7-9

Good News Translation

^7 (A)The men in charge of the work are thoroughly honest, so there is no need to require them to account for the funds.”

⁸ Shaphan delivered the king's order to Hilkiah, and Hilkiah told him that he had found the book of the Law in the Temple. Hilkiah gave him the book, and Shaphan read it. ⁹ Then he went back to the king and reported: “Your servants have taken the money that was in the Temple and have handed it over to the men in charge of the repairs.”
