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.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 22 of 2 Kings. The priest Hilkiah finds the Book of the Law in the temple and gives it to Shaphan, who reads it before the king. The discovery functions as the turning point of the entire account of Josiah. The reform is no longer based solely on removing cultic objects, but is now directly confronted by a text defining the Lord’s will. The reading transforms the king’s perception of Judah’s spiritual condition. The written word becomes the criterion by which the nation’s religious practices must be evaluated.

Und Saphan, der Schreiber kam zum König und gab ihm Bericht und sprach: Deine Knechte haben das Geld ausgeschüttet, das im Hause gefunden ist und haben's den Werkmeistern gegeben, die bestellt sind am Hause des HERRN.
Viniendo luego Saphán escriba al rey, dio al rey la respuesta, y dijo: Tus siervos han juntado el dinero que se halló en el templo, y lo han entregado en poder de los que hacen la obra, que tienen cargo de la casa de Jehová.
El secretario Safán fue al rey y le informó: «Tus servidores han sacado el dinero que había en la casa y lo han entregado a los encargados de supervisar la obra de la casa de Jehová».
Puis Schaphan, le secrétaire, alla rendre compte au roi, et dit: Tes serviteurs ont amassé l'argent qui se trouvait dans la maison, et l'ont remis entre les mains de ceux qui sont chargés de faire exécuter l'ouvrage dans la maison de l'Eternel.
E il segretario Safan venne al re, e gli rapportò la cosa, e disse: I tuoi servitori hanno raccolti i danari che si ritrovano nella Casa, e li hanno dati in mano a coloro che hanno la cura dell’opera, e son costituiti sopra la Casa del Signore.
Então o escrivão Safã veio ter com o rei e, dando-lhe conta, disse: Teus servos ajuntaram o dinheiro que se achou na casa, e o entregaram na mão dos que têm cargo da obra, que estão encarregados da casa do SENHOR.
沙番 書記到王那裏,把這事回覆王說:「你的僕人已把殿裏所發現的銀子倒出來,交在管理耶和華殿督工的手裏了。」
