]2KI-22:1 Josiah [was] eight years old when he began to reign,
and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. And his
mother's name [was] Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath.
2KI-22:2 And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the
LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned
not aside to the right hand or to the left.
2KI-22:3 And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king
Josiah, [that] the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son
of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the LORD, saying,
2KI-22:4 Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the
silver which is brought into the house of the LORD, which the
keepers of the door have gathered of the people:
2KI-22:5 And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of
the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD: and
let them give it to the doers of the work which [is] in the
house of the LORD, to repair the breaches of the house,
2KI-22:6 Unto carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy
timber and hewn stone to repair the house.
2KI-22:7 Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the
money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt
faithfully.
2KI-22:8 And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the
scribe, 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.
2KI-22:9 And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought
the king word again, and said, Thy servants have gathered the
money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into
the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of
the house of the LORD.
2KI-22:10 And Shaphan the scribe showed the king, saying,
Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it
before the king.
2KI-22:11 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words
of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.
2KI-22:12 And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam
the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan
the scribe, and Asahiah a servant of the king's, saying,
2KI-22:13 Go ye, inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people,
and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is
found: for great [is] the wrath of the LORD that is kindled
against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the
words of this book, to do according unto all that which is
written concerning us.
2KI-22:14 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and
Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife
of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the
wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college;) and they
communed with her.
2KI-22:15 And she said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of
Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me.
2KI-22:16 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon
this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, [even] all the
words of the book which the king of Judah hath read:
2KI-22:17 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense
unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all
the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled
against this place, and shall not be quenched.
2KI-22:18 But to the king of Judah which sent you to inquire of
the LORD, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of
Israel, [As touching] the words which thou hast heard;
2KI-22:19 Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled
thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spake against
this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they
should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy
clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard [thee], saith the
LORD.
2KI-22:20 Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers,
and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine
eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this
place. And they brought the king word again.
