2 Kings 22:5-11 Amplified Bible (AMP)

5. And let them deliver it into the hands of the workmen who have oversight of the Lord's house, to give to the laborers engaged in the repairing of the Lord's house–

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

7. However, there was no accounting required of them for the money delivered into their hands, because they dealt faithfully.

8. Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the Lord! Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.

9. And Shaphan the scribe came to the king and reported to him: Your servants have gathered the money that was found in the house and have delivered it into the hands of the workmen who have oversight of the house of the Lord.

10. Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, Hilkiah the priest has given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.

11. And when the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, he rent his clothes.
