2 Chronicles 34:8-13

1599 Geneva Bible

⁸ ¶ ^(A)Then in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the temple, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the Recorder to repair the house of the Lord his God.

⁹ And when they came to Hilkiah the high Priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites that kept the door, had gathered at the hand of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and of all the residue of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin, and ^[a]of the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

¹⁰ And they put it in the hands of ^[b]them that should do the work, and had the oversight in the house of the Lord: and they gave it to the workmen that wrought in the house of the Lord to repair and amend the house.

¹¹ Even to the workmen and to the builders gave they it to buy hewed stone and timber for couples, and for beams of the ^[c]houses, which the kings of Judah had destroyed.

¹² And the men did the work ^[d]faithfully, and the overseers of them were Jahath and Obadiah the Levites, of the children of Merari, and Zechariah, and Meshullam, of the children of the Kohathites to set it forward: and of the Levites all that could skill of instruments of music.

¹³ And they were over the bearers of burdens, and them that set forward all the workmen in every work: and of the Levites were scribes, and officers and porters.
