9 Then Shaʹphan the secretary came in to the king and replied to the king and said: “Your servants have poured out the money that was to be found in the house, and they keep putting it into the hand of the doers of the work, the ones appointed, in the house of Jehovah.”+

8 And in the eighteenth+ year of his reigning, when he had cleansed the land and the house, he sent Shaʹphan+ the son of Az·a·liʹah and Ma·a·seiʹah the chief of the city and Joʹah the son of Joʹa·haz the recorder to repair+ the house of Jehovah his God.
