[9] 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;  to Jerusalem.  [10] 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  in the house  of the LORD,  to repair  and amend  the house:  [11] 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.  [12] 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.  [13] 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] 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.  [15] 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.  [16] And Shaphan  carried  the book  to the king,  word  back  again, saying,  All that was committed  to  thy servants,  they do  [17] 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.  [18] Then Shaphan  the scribe  told  the king,  saying,  Hilkiah  the priest  hath given  me a book.  And Shaphan  read  it before  the king.  [19] And it came to pass, when the king  had heard  the words  of the law,  that he rent  his clothes.  [20] 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,  [21] enquire  of the LORD  for me, and for them that are left  in Israel  and in Judah,  concerning the words  of the book  that is found:  for great  is the wrath  of the LORD  that is poured out  upon us, because our fathers  have not kept  the word  of the LORD,  to do  after all that is written  in this book.  [22] And Hilkiah,  and they that the king  to Huldah  the prophetess,  the wife  of Shallum  the son  of Hasrah,  keeper  of the wardrobe;  (now she dwelt  in Jerusalem  in the college:)  and they spake  to her to that effect.
