3 And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of King Josiah that the king sent Shaphan the scribe, the son of Azaliah the son of Meshullam, to the house of the Lord, saying,
4 “Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may count the silver which is brought into the house of the Lord, which the keepers of the door have gathered from the people.
5 And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work, who have the oversight of the house of the Lord; and let them give it to the doers of the work who are in the house of the Lord to repair the breaches of the house —
6 unto carpenters and builders and masons — and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house.
7 However there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.”

3 In the eighteenth year of his reign, King Josiah sent the secretary, Shaphan(A) son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, to the temple of the Lord. He said: 4 “Go up to Hilkiah(B) the high priest and have him get ready the money that has been brought into the temple of the Lord, which the doorkeepers have collected(C) from the people. 5 Have them entrust it to the men appointed to supervise the work on the temple. And have these men pay the workers who repair(D) the temple of the Lord— 6 the carpenters, the builders and the masons. Also have them purchase timber and dressed stone to repair the temple.(E) 7 But they need not account for the money entrusted to them, because they are honest in their dealings.”(F)
