8 Hilkiyahu the cohen hagadol said to Shafan the secretary, “I have found the scroll of the Torah in the house of ADONAI.” Hilkiyah gave the scroll to Shafan, who read it.

9 Then Shafan the secretary went back to the king and gave the king this report: “Your servants have poured out the money found in the house and handed it over to the people supervising the work in the house of ADONAI.”

10 Shafan the secretary also told the king, “Hilkiyah the cohen hagadol gave me a scroll.” Then Shafan read it aloud before the king.
