2 Kings 22:1-6
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 22
1Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned for thirty-one years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath. 2He did what was right in the sight of the Lord and walked entirely in the way of his father David, and did not turn aside to the right or to the left.
3Now in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah the son of Meshullam the scribe, to the house of the Lord, saying,
4Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, and have him count all the money brought into the house of the Lord, which the doorkeepers have collected from the people.
5And have them hand it over to the workmen who have the oversight of the house of the Lord, and have them give it to the workmen who are in the house of the Lord to repair the damage to the house:
6to the carpenters, the builders, the masons, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the house.

1Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath. 2And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left. 3And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the LORD, saying, 4Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the silver which is brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of the door have gathered of the people: 5And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD: and let them give it to the doers of the work which is in the house of the LORD, to repair the breaches of the house, 6Unto carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house.Christian Standard Bible

4"Go up to the high priest Hilkiah so that he may total up the silver brought into the Lord's temple--the silver the doorkeepers have collected from the people.
5It is to be given to those doing the work--those who oversee the Lord's temple. They in turn are to give it to the workmen in the Lord's temple to repair the damage.
6They are to give it to the carpenters, builders, and masons to buy timber and quarried stone to repair the temple.

Chapter 22
1Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years. His mother was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah from Bozkath. 2He did what was pleasing in the Lord’s sight and followed the example of his ancestor David. He did not turn away from doing what was right.
3In the eighteenth year of his reign, King Josiah sent Shaphan son of Azaliah and grandson of Meshullam, the court secretary, to the Temple of the Lord. He told him,
4Go to Hilkiah the high priest and have him count the money the gatekeepers have collected from the people at the Lord’s Temple.
5Entrust this money to the men assigned to supervise the restoration of the Lord’s Temple. Then they can use it to pay workers to repair the Temple.
6They will need to hire carpenters, builders, and masons. Also have them buy the timber and the finished stone needed to repair the Temple.

6to carpenters and builders and masons—and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house.
