Josiah
was
eight years old
when
he
became
king
, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one
years.
His
mother’s
name was
Jedidah daughter of Adaiah ;
she
was
from
Bozkath.
A
son
of
eight years `is'
Josiah
in
his
reigning
, and thirty
and
one
years
he hath
reigned in Jerusalem ,
and
the
name of
his
mother
`is'
Jedidah daughter of Adaiah of
Boskath,
And he did
what
was
right in the eyes of the
LORD
and walked
in all the ways
of his father David;
he
did
not turn
aside to
the
right or to
the
left.
and he doth
that
which
is
right in the eyes of Jehovah,
and walketh
in all the way
of David
his father ,
and
hath
not turned
aside --
right or left.
Now
in the eighteenth year of his
reign,
King Josiah sent
the
scribe
, Shaphan son of Azaliah, the
son of Meshullam, to the house of the
LORD
, saying,
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, the
king
hath
sent
Shaphan son of Azaliah, son of Meshullam, the
scribe,
to the house of Jehovah
, saying,
“
Go up to
Hilkiah the high priest and have
him
count
the money
that has
been
brought into the house of the
LORD
, which
the doorkeepers
have collected
from the people .
`
Go up unto
Hilkiah the high priest ,
and he
doth
complete
the silver
that is
brought into the house of Jehovah
, that
the keepers
of
the
threshold
have gathered
from the people ,
And let
them
deliver
it into the hands
of the supervisors
of those
doing
the work on
the house of the
LORD
, who
in
turn
are
to
give it to the workmen
repairing
the damages
to
the house of the LORD—
and they
give
it into the hand
of the doers
of the work ,
the overseers,
in
the
house of Jehovah
, and
they
give it to the doers
of
the work
that
`is'
in
the house of Jehovah,
to
strengthen
the breach
of
the
house,
to the
carpenters
, builders, and masons—
to buy timber
and dressed
stone
to repair
the temple.
to artificers
, and
to
builders, and `
to repairers
of'
the
wall,
and
to
buy wood
and hewn
stones
to strengthen
the house;
But
they
need
not
account
for
the money
put
into their hands
, since
they work
with
integrity
. ”
only,
the silver
that
is
given
into their hand
is
not
reckoned
with
them
, for
in
faithfulness
they are
dealing
.
Then
Hilkiah the high priest said
to
Shaphan the scribe, “I
have
found
the
Book of the Law in the house of the
LORD!”
And he
gave
it
to
Shaphan, who
read
it.
And
Hilkiah the high priest saith
unto
Shaphan the scribe, `A
book of the law I
have
found
in the house of Jehovah;'
and Hilkiah
giveth
the
book
unto
Shaphan, and
he
readeth
it.
And Shaphan the scribe went
to
the king and reported
, “Your
servants have paid
out the money
that was
found in the temple
and have
put
it into the hands
of the workers
and
supervisors
of the house of the
LORD
. ”
And Shaphan the scribe cometh
in
unto
the king ,
and bringeth
the
king
back
word
, and
saith,
`Thy
servants have poured
out the silver
that hath
been
found in the house,
and give
it into the hand
of the doers
of the work,
the
inspectors,
in
the
house of Jehovah
. '
Moreover,
Shaphan the scribe told
the king, “
Hilkiah the priest has
given me a
book.”
And Shaphan read
it in
the
presence
of
the king.
And
Shaphan the scribe declareth
to
the king, saying,
`A
book
hath
Hilkiah the priest given to
me ;'
and Shaphan readeth
it before
the king.
When
the king
heard
the words of the Book of the Law, he tore
his clothes
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
at
the king's
hearing
the words of the book of the law, that
he rendeth
his garments,
and commanded
Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Achbor son of Micaiah
, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah
the
servant of the king :
and the
king
commandeth
Hilkiah the priest, and
Ahikam son of Shaphan, and
Achbor son of Michaiah
, and
Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah
servant of the king ,
saying,
“
Go and
inquire
of
the
LORD
for me, for the people, and for all Judah concerning the words in
this book that has
been
found .
For great is the wrath
of the
LORD
that burns
against us because our fathers have not obeyed
the words of this book by
doing
all that is written about
us. ”
`
Go ,
seek
Jehovah
for me, and
for the people, and for all Judah ,
concerning the words of
this book that is
found ,
for great `
is '
the fury
of Jehovah
that is
kindled
against us ,
because that
our fathers have not hearkened
unto
the words of this book ,
to
do
according
to
all that is written for
us. '
So
Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah
went
and
spoke
to
Huldah the prophetess, the
wife of Shallum son of Tikvah, the
son of Harhas, the
keeper of the wardrobe.
She lived
in Jerusalem ,
in the Second District
.
And
Hilkiah the priest goeth
, and
Ahikam, and
Achbor, and
Shaphan, and Asahiah,
unto
Huldah the prophetess, wife of Shallum ,
son of Tikvah, son of Harhas, keeper of the garments,
and
she is
dwelling
in Jerusalem in the second ,
and
they
speak
unto
her
.
And Huldah
said
to
them, “This
is
what
the
LORD
, the
God of Israel, says:
‘Tell
the man who sent you
And she
saith
unto
them, `Thus
said
Jehovah
, God of Israel, Say
to
the man who hath
sent you unto
me:
that
this
is
what
the
LORD
says:
I am about
to
bring
calamity
on
this place and on its people
, according
to
all the words of the book that the king of Judah has
read,
Thus
said
Jehovah,
Lo,
I am bringing
in
evil
unto
this place and on its inhabitants
, all the words of the book that the king of Judah hath
read,
because they have forsaken Me and burned
incense
to other gods, that
they
might
provoke Me to anger with all
the
works
of their hands .
My wrath will
be
kindled against this place and will
not be
quenched. ’
because that
they have forsaken Me ,
and make
perfume
to other gods, so
as
to
provoke Me to anger with every
work
of their hands ,
and
My wrath hath
been
kindled against this place ,
and it
is
not quenched.
But
as
for
the king of Judah, who sent
you to inquire
of
the
LORD
, tell
him that
this
is
what
the
LORD
, the
God of Israel, says:
‘As
for
the words that you
heard ,
`And
unto
the king of Judah, who is
sending
you to seek
Jehovah
, thus
do
ye
say
unto
him, Thus
said
Jehovah,
God of Israel, The words that thou
hast
heard --
because your
heart was
tender and you
humbled yourself
before
the
LORD
when
you
heard
what
I spoke
against this place and against its people
, that
they
would
become
a desolation and a curse
, and because
you
have
torn
your
clothes
and wept
before Me ,
I have heard you,’
declares
the LORD.
because thy
heart `is'
tender ,
and thou
art
humbled because
of
Jehovah,
in
thy
hearing
that
which
I have
spoken
against this place ,
and against its inhabitants
, to
be
for
a desolation ,
and for
a reviling
, and dost
rend
thy
garments,
and weep
before Me --
I also
have heard --
the affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
‘
Therefore I will
indeed
gather
you
to
your
fathers, and you
will
be
gathered to
your
grave in peace .
Your
eyes will
not see
all
the calamity
that I will
bring
on this place .’”
So
they brought
her
answer
back
to
the king.
therefore ,
lo,
I am
gathering
thee
unto
thy
fathers, and thou
hast
been
gathered unto
thy
grave in peace ,
and
thine
eyes do
not look
on
any
of
the evil
that I am
bringing
in
on this place ;'
and
they bring
the king back
word
.
