2 Kings 22:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 Go up to Hilkiah the high Priest, that he may [a]sum the silver which is brought into the house of the Lord, which the keepers of the [b][c]door have gathered of the people.
5 And let [d]them deliver it into the hand of them that do the work, and have the oversight of the house of the Lord, let them give it to them that work in the house of the Lord, to repair the decayed places of the house:
6 To wit, unto the artificers and carpenters, and masons, and to buy timber, and hewed stone to repair the house.
