2 Kings 22:9

And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king
word again
Of the delivery of his message to the high priest, and of what had been done upon it:

and said, thy servants have gathered the money that was found in the
house;
meaning Hilkiah and himself, who had examined the chest in the temple, into which the money was put for the repairs of it, and had taken it out, and told it:

and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have
the oversight of the house of the Lord;
according to the king's orders.
