1 # Josiah <02977> was eight <08083> years <08141> old <01121> when he began to reign <04427> (8800) , and he reigned <04427> (8804) thirty <07970> and one <0259> years <08141> in Jerusalem <03389>. And his mother's <0517> name <08034> was Jedidah <03040>, the daughter <01323> of Adaiah <05718> of Boscath <01218>.
2 And he did <06213> (8799) that which was right <03477> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>, and walked <03212> (8799) in all the way <01870> of David <01732> his father <01>, and turned not aside <05493> (8804) to the right hand <03225> or to the left <08040>.
3 And it came to pass in the eighteenth <08083> <06240> year <08141> of king <04428> Josiah <02977>, that the king <04428> sent <07971> (8804) Shaphan <08227> the son <01121> of Azaliah <0683>, the son <01121> of Meshullam <04918>, the scribe <05608> (8802), to the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, saying <0559> (8800),
4 Go up <05927> (8798) to Hilkiah <02518> the high <01419> priest <03548>, that he may sum <08552> (8686) the silver <03701> which is brought <0935> (8716) into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, which the keepers <08104> (8802) of the door <05592> have gathered <0622> (8804) of the people <05971>:
5 And let them deliver <05414> (8799) it into the hand <03027> of the doers <06213> (8802) of the work <04399> , that have the oversight <06485> (8716) of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>: and let them give <05414> (8799) it to the doers <06213> (8802) of the work <04399> which is in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, to repair <02388> (8763) the breaches <0919> of the house <01004>,
6 Unto carpenters <02796>, and builders <01129> (8802), and masons <01443> (8802), and to buy <07069> (8800) timber <06086> and hewn <04274> stone <068> to repair <02388> (8763) the house <01004>.
7 Howbeit there was no reckoning made <02803> (8735) with them of the money <03701> that was delivered <05414> (8737) into their hand <03027>, because they dealt <06213> (8802) faithfully <0530>.
8 And Hilkiah <02518> the high <01419> priest <03548> said <0559> (8799) unto Shaphan <08227> the scribe <05608> (8802), I have found <04672> (8804) the book <05612> of the law <08451> in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>. And Hilkiah <02518> gave <05414> (8799) the book <05612> to Shaphan <08227>, and he read <07121> (8799) it.
9 And Shaphan <08227> the scribe <05608> (8802) came <0935> (8799) to the king <04428>, and brought <07725> <00> the king <04428> word <01697> again <07725> (8686), and said <0559> (8799), Thy servants <05650> have gathered <05413> (8689) the money <03701> that was found <04672> (8737) in the house <01004>, and have delivered <05414> (8799) it into the hand <03027> of them that do <06213> (8802) the work <04399>, that have the oversight <06485> (8716) of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.
10 And Shaphan <08227> the scribe <05608> (8802) shewed <05046> (8686) the king <04428>, saying <0559> (8800), Hilkiah <02518> the priest <03548> hath delivered <05414> (8804) me a book <05612>. And Shaphan <08227> read <07121> (8799) it before <06440> the king <04428>.
11 # And it came to pass, when the king <04428> had heard <08085> (8800) the words <01697> of the book <05612> of the law <08451>, that he rent <07167> (8799) his clothes <0899>.
12 And the king <04428> commanded <06680> (8762) Hilkiah <02518> the priest <03548>, and Ahikam <0296> the son <01121> of Shaphan <08227>, and Achbor <05907> the son <01121> of Michaiah <04320>, and Shaphan <08227> the scribe <05608> (8802), and Asahiah <06222> a servant <05650> of the king's <04428>, saying <0559> (8800),
13 Go <03212> (8798) ye, enquire <01875> (8798) of the LORD <03068> for me, and for the people <05971> , and for all Judah <03063>, concerning the words <01697> of this book <05612> that is found <04672> (8737): for great <01419> is the wrath <02534> of the LORD <03068> that is kindled <03341> (8738) against us, because our fathers <01> have not hearkened <08085> (8804) unto the words <01697> of this book <05612>, to do <06213> (8800) according unto all that which is written <03789> (8803) concerning us.
14 So Hilkiah <02518> the priest <03548>, and Ahikam <0296>, and Achbor <05907>, and Shaphan <08227>, and Asahiah <06222>, went <03212> (8799) unto Huldah <02468> the prophetess <05031>, the wife <0802> of Shallum <07967> the son <01121> of Tikvah <08616>, the son <01121> of Harhas <02745>, keeper <08104> (8802) of the wardrobe <0899>; (now she dwelt <03427> (8802) in Jerusalem <03389> in the college <04932>;) and they communed <01696> (8762) with her.
15 And she said <0559> (8799) unto them, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, Tell <0559> (8798) the man <0376> that sent <07971> (8804) you to me,
16 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, Behold, I will bring <0935> (8688) evil <07451> upon this place <04725>, and upon the inhabitants <03427> (8802) thereof, even all the words <01697> of the book <05612> which the king <04428> of Judah <03063> hath read <07121> (8804):
17 Because they have forsaken <05800> (8804) me, and have burned incense <06999> (8762) unto other <0312> gods <0430>, that they might provoke me to anger <03707> (8687) with all the works <04639> of their hands <03027>; therefore my wrath <02534> shall be kindled <03341> (8738) against this place <04725>, and shall not be quenched <03518> (8799).
18 But to the king <04428> of Judah <03063> which sent <07971> (8802) you to enquire <01875> (8800) of the LORD <03068>, thus shall ye say <0559> (8799) to him, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, As touching the words <01697> which thou hast heard <08085> (8804);
19 Because thine heart <03824> was tender <07401> (8804), and thou hast humbled <03665> (8735) thyself before <06440> the LORD <03068>, when thou heardest <08085> (8800) what I spake <01696> (8765) against this place <04725>, and against the inhabitants <03427> (8802) thereof, that they should become a desolation <08047> and a curse <07045>, and hast rent <07167> (8799) thy clothes <0899>, and wept <01058> (8799) before <06440> me; I also have heard <08085> (8804) thee , saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
20 Behold therefore, I will gather <0622> (8802) thee unto thy fathers <01>, and thou shalt be gathered <0622> (8738) into thy grave <06913> in peace <07965>; and thine eyes <05869> shall not see <07200> (8799) all the evil <07451> which I will bring <0935> (8688) upon this place <04725>. And they brought <07725> <00> the king <04428> word <01697> again <07725> (8686).
