Explanation preview
The Chronicler reports that in Josiah's eighteenth year the king sent three trusted officials, Shaphan the secretary, Maaseiah the city governor and Joah the recorder, to repair the temple. The verse joins two purposes: cleansing the land of idolatry, already begun years earlier, and restoring the house of the LORD his God.
