4 Go up to Hilkiah, the high priest, that he may sum the silver which has been brought into the house of the Lord, which the keepers of the door have gathered of the people;
5 and let them deliver it into the hands of those that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the Lord; and let them give it to those that do the work in the house of the Lord, to repair the breaches of the house,
6 unto carpenters and builders and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house;
7 and there is to be no accounting required of those unto whom the money is delivered because they deal faithfully.
8 Then Hilkiah, the high priest, said unto Shaphan, the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
9 And Shaphan, the scribe, came to the king and brought the king word again and said, Thy slaves have gathered the money that was found in the house and have delivered it into the hand of those that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the Lord.
10 Likewise, Shaphan, the scribe, declared unto the king, saying, Hilkiah, the priest, has delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.
