Contextual Overview

1 Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he ruled thirty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jedidah daughter of Adaiah, who was from Bozkath. 2 Josiah did what the Lord said was right. He lived as his ancestor David had lived, and he did not stop doing what was right. 3 In Josiah's eighteenth year as king, he sent Shaphan to the Temple of the Lord . Shaphan son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, was the royal secretary. Josiah said, 4 "Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, and have him empty out the money the gatekeepers have gathered from the people. This is the money they have brought into the Temple of the Lord . 5 Have him give the money to the supervisors of the work on the Temple of the Lord . They must pay the workers who repair the Temple of the Lord — 6 the carpenters, builders, and bricklayers. Also use the money to buy timber and cut stone to repair the Temple. 7 They do not need to report how they use the money given to them, because they are working honestly." 8 Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the royal secretary, "I've found the Book of the Teachings in the Temple of the Lord ." He gave it to Shaphan, who read it. 9 Then Shaphan the royal secretary went to the king and reported to Josiah, "Your officers have paid out the money that was in the Temple of the Lord . They have given it to the workers and supervisors at the Temple." 10 Then Shaphan the royal secretary told the king, "Hilkiah the priest has given me a book." And Shaphan read from the book to the king.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again,.... Of the delivery of his message to the high priest, and of what had been done upon it:

and said, thy servants have gathered the money that was found in the house; meaning Hilkiah and himself, who had examined the chest in the temple, into which the money was put for the repairs of it, and had taken it out, and told it:

and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the Lord; according to the king's orders.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Have gathered - Rather, “have poured out” or “emptied out.” The allusion probably is to the emptying of the chest in which all the money collected had been placed 2 Kings 12:9.
