2 Kings 22:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 22:6

Unto carpenters, and builders, and masons
Who were employed, some in mending the woodwork, and others in repairing the stone walls

and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house;
not only money was to be given them for their workmanship, but to buy timber and stone to work with.

2 Kings 22:6 In-Context

4 “Go up to Hilkiah the high priest and have him count the money that has been brought into the house of the LORD, which the doorkeepers have collected from the people.

5 And let them deliver it into the hands of the supervisors of those doing the work on the house of the LORD, who in turn are to give it to the workmen repairing the damages to the house of the LORD—

6 to the carpenters, builders, and masons—to buy timber and dressed stone to repair the temple.

7 But they need not account for the money put into their hands, since they work with integrity.”

8 Then Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the LORD!” And he gave it to Shaphan, who read it.
