Cross-reference

Parallel
In 2 Kings 22:5, Josiah orders money given directly to workmen, avoiding priestly mishandling—a parallel reform after the failed priestly approach.

Parallel
In 2 Kings 22:6, the same trades (carpenters, builders, masons) are listed for temple repairs, echoing the earlier repair instructions.
2 Chronicles 24:5
Parallel
