2 KINGS 22:7 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.”
But no accounting shall be asked from them for the money that is delivered to them, for they deal honestly.' — the royal authorization grants the workers freedom from financial audit, trusting their integrity ('for they deal honestly'). The phrase 'no accounting shall be asked from them' (לֹא יִשָּׁמְרוּ אִתָּם בַּכָּסֶף, *lo yishamru itam ba-kassef*) indicates trust-based administration rather than bureaucratic oversight. This confidence in worker honesty reflects the general integrity and piety of Josiah's reign.
