Hilkiah Finds the Book of the Law

3 ^aNow it came to pass, in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the scribe, the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, to the house of the Lord, saying:

4 “Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may count the money which has been ^abrought into the house of the Lord, which ^bthe doorkeepers have gathered from the people.

5 And let them ^adeliver it into the hand of those doing the work, who are the overseers in the house of the Lord; let them give it to those who are in the house of the Lord doing the work, to repair the damages of the house—

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

7 However ^athere need be no accounting made with them of the money delivered into their hand, because they deal faithfully.”

8 Then Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, ^a“I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the Lord.” And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
