Contextual Overview
1 Josiah was eight years old when he became king. He ruled for thirty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath. 2 Josiah did what is right in the eyes of the Lord. He walked in all the way of his father David. He did not turn aside to the right or to the left. 3 In the eighteenth year of King Josiah, the king sent Shaphan the writer, the son of Azaliah, son of Meshullam, to the house of the Lord. He said, 4 "Go up to Hilkiah the head religious leader, that he may add up the money brought into the Lord's house which the door-keepers have gathered from the people. 5 Let the money be given to the workmen who are watching over the work on the Lord's house. And let them give it to the workmen who are doing the work on the Lord's house. 6 Have them pay the builders and the men who work with wood and with stone. Have them use it for buying wood and cut stone needed to work on the house. 7 But do not make them tell you how the money was spent that was given to them. For they are honest men." 8 Then Hilkiah the head religious leader said to Shaphan the writer, "I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the Lord." And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it. 9 Then Shaphan the writer came to the king and told him, "Your servants have taken all the money found in the house. And they have given it to the workmen who are watching over the work on the Lord's house." 10 Then Shaphan the writer told the king, "Hilkiah the religious leader has given me a book." And Shaphan read it in front of the king.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Howbeit, there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand,.... No account was kept between the high priest, and the king's scribe who delivered the money and the overseers of the workmen, who received it from them the latter were not called to any account by the former, nor any audit made of their accounts:
because they dealt faithfully: they were persons of such known honour and integrity, that their fidelity was not in the least called in question, but were trusted without examining their accounts, and how they disposed of the money committed to them, see 2 Kings 12:15.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
They dealt faithfully - Compare the marginal reference. The names of these honest overseers are given in Chronicles 2 Chronicles 34:12.
