Hilkiah Finds The Book of God's Law

(2 Chronicles 34.8-28)

³ After Josiah had been king for 18 years, he told Shaphan,^[a] one of his highest officials:

Go to the Lord's temple ⁴ and ask Hilkiah the high priest to collect from the guards all the money that the people have donated. ⁵ Tell Hilkiah to give it to the men supervising the repairs to the temple. They can use some of the money to pay ⁶ the workers, and with the rest of it they can buy wood and stone for the repair work.
