And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of LORD ,
Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of LORD [
given ]
by Moses .
*
And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe ,
I have found the book of the law in the house of LORD .
And Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan .
*
And Shaphan carried the book to the king ,
and moreover brought back word to the king ,
saying ,
All that was committed to thy servants ,
they are doing .
*
And they have emptied out the money that was found in the house of LORD ,
and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers ,
and into the hand of the workmen .
*
And Shaphan the scribe told the king ,
saying ,
Hilkiah the priest has delivered a book to me .
And Shaphan read in there before the king .
*
And it came to pass ,
when the king had heard the words of the law ,

*
Because they have forsaken me ,
and have burned incense to other gods ,
that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands .
Therefore my wrath is poured out upon this place ,
and it shall not be quenched .

But to the king of Judah ,
who sent you to inquire of LORD ,
thus ye shall say to him ,
Thus says LORD ,
the God of Israel :

and thou humbled thyself before God when thou heard his words against this place ,
and against the inhabitants of it ,
and have humbled thyself before me ,
and have torn thy clothes ,
and wept before me ,

to perform the words of the coven

And he caused all who were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand [
to it ].
And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God ,
the God of their fathers .
