2 Kings 22:6 In-Context

4 "Go up to Hilki'ah the high priest, that he may reckon the amount of the money which has been brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of the threshold have collected from the people;

5 and let it be given into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of the LORD; and let them give it to the workmen who are at the house of the LORD, repairing the house,

6 that is, to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons, as well as for buying timber and quarried stone to repair the house.

7 But no accounting shall be asked from them for the money which is delivered into their hand, for they deal honestly."

8 And Hilki'ah the high priest said to Shaphan the secretary, "I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD." And Hilki'ah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
