5 And let them deliver H5414 it into the hand H3027 of the doers H6213 of the work, H4399 that have the oversight H6485 of the house H1004 of the LORD: H3068 and let them give H5414 it to the doers H6213 of the work H4399 which is in the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 to repair H2388 the breaches H919 of the house, H1004
And they gave H5414 the money, H3701 being told, H8505 into the hands H3027 of them that did H6213 the work, H4399 that had the oversight H6485 H6485 of the house H1004 of the LORD: H3068 and they laid it out H3318 to the carpenters H2796 H6086 and builders, H1129 that wrought H6213 upon the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 And to masons, H1443 and hewers H2672 of stone, H68 and to buy H7069 timber H6086 and hewed H4274 stone H68 to repair H2388 the breaches H919 of the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 and for all that was laid out H3318 for the house H1004 to repair H2394 it. Howbeit there were not made H6213 for the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 bowls H5592 of silver, H3701 snuffers, H4212 basons, H4219 trumpets, H2689 any vessels H3627 of gold, H2091 or vessels H3627 of silver, H3701 of the money H3701 that was brought H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD: H3068 But they gave H5414 that to the workmen, H4399 H6213 and repaired H2388 therewith the house H1004 of the LORD. H3068
And the king H4428 and Jehoiada H3077 gave H5414 it to such as did H6213 the work H4399 of the service H5656 of the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 and hired H7936 masons H2672 and carpenters H2796 to repair H2318 the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 and also such as wrought H2796 iron H1270 and brass H5178 to mend H2388 the house H1004 of the LORD. H3068 So the workmen H4399 H6213 wrought, H6213 and the work H4399 was H5927 perfected H724 by them, H3027 and they set H5975 the house H1004 of God H430 in his state, H4971 and strengthened H553 it.
