| II Kings 22:3
| And in the eighteenth year of *king Josias, the king sent Saphan, the son of Aslia, the son of Messulam, the scribe of the temple of the Lord, saying to him:
| Year of the World 3380, Year before Christ 624. Scribe of. Hebrew, "to the temple." (Chaldean; Syriac, etc.) It is not certain that there was such an officer as scribe of the temple; but the king's secretary was ordered by Joas to take an account of the money contributed, 4 Kings 12:10. (Calmet) --- Josias followed the same plan. (Tirinus)
