3In the eighteenth year of King Josi'ah, the king sent Shaphan the son of Azali'ah, son of Meshul'lam, the secretary, to the house of the LORD, saying, 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; 5and 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, 6that 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. 7But no accounting shall be asked from them for the money which is delivered into their hand, for they deal honestly."
2 Kings 22:3-7 (RSV)
