Context of 2 Kings 22:5
3In the eighteenth year of King Josiah, the king sent the court secretary Shaphan son of Azaliah, son of Meshullam, to the Lord’s temple, saying, 4“Go up to the high priest Hilkiah so that he may total up the silver brought into the Lord’s temple — the silver the doorkeepers have collected from the people. It is to be given to those doing the work — those who oversee the Lord’s temple. They in turn are to give it to the workmen in the Lord’s temple to repair the damage. 6They are to give it to the carpenters, builders, and masons to buy timber and quarried stone to repair the temple. 7But no accounting is to be required from them for the silver given to them since they work with integrity.”

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5See the marginal reference. The “doers” of the first part of the verse are the contractors, or overseers, who undertook the general superintendence; they are to be distinguished from a lower class of “doers,” the actual laborers, carpenters, and masons of the latter portion of the verse. Which is in the house of the Lord - Rather, “who are,” etc.; i. e., the persons who were actually employed in the temple.Read the comment
