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 let them count the money being brought to the temple of Yahweh which the keepers of the threshold have collected from the people,

5 and let them give it into the hand of those appointed doers of the work at the temple of Yahweh. Let them give it to the doers of the work who [are] at the temple of Yahweh to repair the breach of the temple:

6 to the skilled craftsmen, to the builders, to the masons, and to buy timber and hewing stones to repair the temple.

7 Only the money being given to them is not to be accounted for by them, for they [are] dealing with honesty."

8 Then Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the secretary, "I have found the scroll of the Torah in the temple of Yahweh," and Hilkiah gave the scroll to Shaphan and he read it.
