14:034:008 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign,
when he had purged
the
land, and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah,
and
Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son
of
Joahaz
the recorder, to repair the house of the lord
his God.
14:034:009 And when they came to Hilkiah the high
priest, they delivered
the
money that was brought into the house of God, which
the
Levites
that kept the doors had gathered of the hand of
Manasseh
and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and
of
all
Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to Jerusalem.
14:034:010 And they put it in the hand of the workmen
that had the
oversight
of the house of the lord, and they gave it to
the
workmen
that wrought in the house of the lord, to repair
and
amend
the house:
14:034:011 Even to the artificers and builders gave
they it, to buy hewn
stone,
and timber for couplings, and to floor the houses which
the
kings of Judah had destroyed.
14:034:012 And the men did the work faithfully:
and the overseers of them
were
Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari;
and
Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites,
to
set
it forward; and other of the Levites, all that could
skill
of
instruments of musick.
14:034:013 Also they were over the bearers of burdens,
and were overseers
of
all that wrought the work in any manner of service:
and of
the
Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters.
14:034:014 And when they brought out the money that
was brought into the
house
of the lord, Hilkiah the priest found a book of
the law
of
the lord given by Moses.
14:034:015 And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan
the scribe, I have
found
the book of the law in the house of the lord.
And
Hilkiah
delivered the book to Shaphan.
14:034:016 And Shaphan carried the book to the king,
and brought the king
word
back again, saying, All that was committed to thy
servants,
they do it.
14:034:017 And they have gathered together the money
that was found in
the
house of the lord, and have delivered it into
the hand of
the
overseers, and to the hand of the workmen.
14:034:018 Then Shaphan the scribe told the king,
saying, Hilkiah the
priest
hath given me a book. And Shaphan read it before
the
king.
14:034:019 And it came to pass, when the king had
heard the words of the
law,
that he rent his clothes.
14:034:020 And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam
the son of Shaphan,
and
Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and
Asaiah
a
servant of the king’s, saying,
