2 Kings 22:3-7
3
In the eighteenth year of his reign, King Josiah sent the secretary, Shaphan son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, to the temple of the LORD. He said:
4
“Go up to Hilkiah 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 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 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.
7
But they need not account for the money entrusted to them, because they are honest in their dealings.”
