2KI 22:3  And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the
king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the
house of the LORD, saying,  

2KI 22:4  Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the silver which is
brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of the door have gathered
of the people:  

2KI 22:5  And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work, that
have the oversight of the house of the LORD: and let them give it to the doers
of the work which is in the house of the LORD, to repair the breaches of the
house,  

2KI 22:6  Unto carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn
stone to repair the house.  

2KI 22:7  Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was
delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.  

2KI 22:8  And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, 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.  

2KI 22:9  And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word
again, and said, Thy servants have gathered the money that was found in the
house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have
the oversight of the house of the LORD.  

2KI 22:10  And Shaphan the scribe shewed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest
hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.  

2KI 22:11  And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of
the law, that he rent his clothes.  

2KI 22:12  And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of
Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a
servant of the king's, saying,  

2KI 22:13  Go ye, enquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all
Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath
of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened
unto the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written
concerning us.  

2KI 22:14  So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and
Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah,
the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the
college;) and they communed with her.  

2CH 34:8  Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land,
and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of
the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the
LORD his God.  

2CH 34:9  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; and they returned to Jerusalem.  

2CH 34:10  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 that wrought in the house
of the LORD, to repair and amend the house:  

2CH 34:11  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.  

2CH 34:12  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.  

2CH 34:13  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.  

2CH 34:14  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.  

2CH 34:15  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.  

2CH 34:16  And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and brought the king word
back again, saying, All that was committed to thy servants, they do it.  

2CH 34:17  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.  

2CH 34:18  Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest
hath given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.  

2CH 34:19  And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law,
that he rent his clothes.  

2CH 34:20  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,  

JER 36:10  Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of
the LORD, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the
higher court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD'S house, in the ears of
all the people.  

JER 36:11  When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out
of the book all the words of the LORD,  

JER 36:12  Then he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's chamber:
and, lo, all the princes sat there, even Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the
son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of
Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.
