1: Josiah <H2977> [was] eight <H8083> years <H8141> old <H1121> when he began to reign, <H4427> and he reigned <H4427> thirty <H7970> and one <H0259> years <H8141> in Jerusalem. <H3389> And his mother's <H0517> name <H8034> [was] Jedidah, <H3040> the daughter <H1323> of Adaiah <H5718> of Boscath. <H1218>
2: And he did <H6213> [that which was] right <H3477> in the sight <H5869> of the LORD, <H3068> and walked <H3212> in all the way <H1870> of David <H1732> his father, <H0001> and turned not aside <H5493> to the right hand <H3225> or to the left. <H8040>
3: And it came to pass in the eighteenth <H8083> <H6240> year <H8141> of king <H4428> Josiah, <H2977> [that] the king <H4428> sent <H7971> Shaphan <H8227> the son <H1121> of Azaliah, <H0683> the son <H1121> of Meshullam, <H4918> the scribe, <H5608> to the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068> saying, <H0559>
4: Go up <H5927> to Hilkiah <H2518> the high <H1419> priest, <H3548> that he may sum <H8552> the silver <H3701> which is brought into <H0935> the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068> which the keepers <H8104> of the door <H5592> have gathered <H0622> of the people: <H5971>
5: And let them deliver <H5414> it into the hand <H3027> of the doers <H6213> of the work, <H4399> that have the oversight <H6485> of the house <H1004> of the LORD: <H3068> and let them give <H5414> it to the doers <H6213> of the work <H4399> which [is] in the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068> to repair <H2388> the breaches <H0919> of the house, <H1004>
6: Unto carpenters, <H2796> and builders, <H1129> and masons, <H1443> and to buy <H7069> timber <H6086> and hewn <H4274> stone <H0068> to repair <H2388> the house. <H1004>
7: Howbeit there was no reckoning made <H2803> with them of the money <H3701> that was delivered <H5414> into their hand, <H3027> because they dealt <H6213> faithfully. <H0530>
8: And Hilkiah <H2518> the high <H1419> priest <H3548> said <H0559> unto Shaphan <H8227> the scribe, <H5608> I have found <H4672> the book <H5612> of the law <H8451> in the house <H1004> of the LORD. <H3068> And Hilkiah <H2518> gave <H5414> the book <H5612> to Shaphan, <H8227> and he read <H7121> it.
9: And Shaphan <H8227> the scribe <H5608> came <H0935> to the king, <H4428> and brought the king <H4428> word <H1697> again, <H7725> and said, <H0559> Thy servants <H5650> have gathered <H5413> the money <H3701> that was found <H4672> in the house, <H1004> and have delivered <H5414> it into the hand <H3027> of them that do <H6213> the work, <H4399> that have the oversight <H6485> of the house <H1004> of the LORD. <H3068>
10: And Shaphan <H8227> the scribe <H5608> shewed <H5046> the king, <H4428> saying, <H0559> Hilkiah <H2518> the priest <H3548> hath delivered <H5414> me a book. <H5612> And Shaphan <H8227> read <H7121> it before <H6440> the king. <H4428>
11: And it came to pass, when the king <H4428> had heard <H8085> the words <H1697> of the book <H5612> of the law, <H8451> that he rent <H7167> his clothes. <H0899>
12: And the king <H4428> commanded <H6680> Hilkiah <H2518> the priest, <H3548> and Ahikam <H0296> the son <H1121> of Shaphan, <H8227> and Achbor <H5907> the son <H1121> of Michaiah, <H4320> and Shaphan <H8227> the scribe, <H5608> and Asahiah <H6222> a servant <H5650> of the king's, <H4428> saying, <H0559>
13: Go <H3212> ye, enquire <H1875> of the LORD <H3068> for me, and for the people, <H5971> and for all Judah, <H3063> concerning the words <H1697> of this book <H5612> that is found: <H4672> for great <H1419> [is] the wrath <H2534> of the LORD <H3068> that is kindled <H3341> against us, because our fathers <H0001> have not hearkened <H8085> unto the words <H1697> of this book, <H5612> to do <H6213> according unto all that which is written <H3789> concerning us.
14: So Hilkiah <H2518> the priest, <H3548> and Ahikam, <H0296> and Achbor, <H5907> and Shaphan, <H8227> and Asahiah, <H6222> went <H3212> unto Huldah <H2468> the prophetess, <H5031> the wife <H0802> of Shallum <H7967> the son <H1121> of Tikvah, <H8616> the son <H1121> of Harhas, <H2745> keeper <H8104> of the wardrobe; <H0899> (now she dwelt <H3427> in Jerusalem <H3389> in the college;) <H4932> and they communed <H1696> with her.
15: And she said <H0559> unto them, Thus saith <H0559> the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of Israel, <H3478> Tell <H0559> the man <H0376> that sent <H7971> you to me,
16: Thus saith <H0559> the LORD, <H3068> Behold, I will bring <H0935> evil <H7451> upon this place, <H4725> and upon the inhabitants <H3427> thereof, [even] all the words <H1697> of the book <H5612> which the king <H4428> of Judah <H3063> hath read: <H7121>
17: Because they have forsaken <H5800> me, and have burned incense <H6999> unto other <H0312> gods, <H0430> that they might provoke me to anger <H3707> with all the works <H4639> of their hands; <H3027> therefore my wrath <H2534> shall be kindled <H3341> against this place, <H4725> and shall not be quenched. <H3518>
18: But to the king <H4428> of Judah <H3063> which sent <H7971> you to enquire <H1875> of the LORD, <H3068> thus shall ye say <H0559> to him, Thus saith <H0559> the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of Israel, <H3478> [As touching] the words <H1697> which thou hast heard; <H8085>
19: Because thine heart <H3824> was tender, <H7401> and thou hast humbled <H3665> thyself before <H6440> the LORD, <H3068> when thou heardest <H8085> what I spake <H1696> against this place, <H4725> and against the inhabitants <H3427> thereof, that they should become a desolation <H8047> and a curse, <H7045> and hast rent <H7167> thy clothes, <H0899> and wept <H1058> before <H6440> me; I also have heard <H8085> [thee], saith <H5002> the LORD. <H3068>
20: Behold therefore, I will gather <H0622> thee unto thy fathers, <H0001> and thou shalt be gathered <H0622> into thy grave <H6913> in peace; <H7965> and thine eyes <H5869> shall not see <H7200> all the evil <H7451> which I will bring <H0935> upon this place. <H4725> And they brought the king <H4428> word <H1697> again. <H7725>
