Context of 2 Chronicles 34:15

13They were also in charge of the burden bearers [who carried heavy loads], and supervised all the workmen in any kind of service; and some of the Levites were scribes and officials and gatekeepers. 14When they were bringing out the money which had been brought into the house of the Lord, Hilkiah the priest found the Book of the Law of the Lord given by Moses. Hilkiah told Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the Lord.” And he gave the book to Shaphan. 16Shaphan brought the book to the king, but [first] reported further to him, “Your servants are doing everything that was entrusted to them. 17They have emptied out the money that was found in the house of the Lord, and have delivered it into the hands of the overseers and the workmen.”
