Josiah’s Repair of the Temple

⁸ In the eighteenth year of his reign,^(B) in order to cleanse the land and the temple, Josiah sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, along with Maaseiah the governor^(C) of the city and the court historian Joah son of Joahaz, to repair the temple of the Lord his God.

⁹ So they went to Hilkiah^(D) the high priest, and gave him the money brought into God’s temple. The Levites and the doorkeepers had collected money from Manasseh, Ephraim,^(E) and from the entire remnant of Israel, and from all Judah, Benjamin, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
