2 Kings 22:6

Unto carpenters, and builders, and masons

2 Kings 22:6 In-Context

4 Go up to Hilkijah the high priest, that he may sum up the money which is brought into the house of Jehovah, which the doorkeepers have gathered of the people,

5 and let them give it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of Jehovah; and let them give it to those that do the work in the house of Jehovah, to repair the breaches of the house,

6 to the carpenters and the builders and the masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house.

7 But no reckoning was made with them of the money that was given into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.

8 And Hilkijah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of Jehovah. And Hilkijah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
