8 ^aIn the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the¹ temple, he sent ^bShaphan the son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the ^cgovernor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the Lord his God.

9 When they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered ^athe money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites who kept the doors had gathered from the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, from all the ^bremnant of Israel, from all Judah and Benjamin, and which they had brought back to Jerusalem.

10 Then they put it in the hand of the foremen who had the oversight of the house of the Lord; and they gave it to the workmen who worked in the house of the Lord, to repair and restore the house.

11 They gave it to the craftsmen and builders to buy hewn stone and timber for beams, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.

And they returned to Jerusalem - Instead of vaiyashubu , "they returned," we should read yoshebey , "the inhabitants;" a reading which is supported by many MSS., printed editions, and all the versions, as well as by necessity and common sense. See the note on II Chronicles 19:8, where a similar mistake is rectified.
