*
Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign ,
and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem .
And his mothers name was Jedidah ,
the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath .
*
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 s @

And it came to pass in the eighteenth sh @
moneh #
year of king Josiah Yo #
shiyah #,
that the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah ,
the son of Meshullam ,
the scribe ,
to the house of the LORD ,
saying ,
*
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 :
*
And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work m @

kah #,
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 ,
*
Unto carpenters ,
and builders ,
and masons ,
and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house .
*
Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand ,
because they dealt faithfully .
*
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 .
*
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 m @

that have the oversight of the house of the LORD .
*
And Shaphan the scribe shewed the king ,
saying ,
Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book .
And Shaphan read it before the king .
*
And it came to pass ,
when the king had heard the words of the book of the law ,
that he rent his clothes .
*
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 kings ,
saying ,
*
Go ye ,
enquire 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 .
*
So Hilkiah the priest ,
and Ahikam ,
and Achbor ,
and Shaphan ,
and Asahiah ,
went unto Huldah the prophetess n @

ah #,
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 .
*
And she said unto them ,
Thus saith the LORD God of Israel Yisra #
el #,
Tell the man that sent you to me ,
*
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 :
*
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 .
*
But to the king of Judah which sent you to enquire of the LORD ,
thus shall ye say to him ,
Thus saith the LORD God of Israel Yisra #
el #,
As touching the words which thou hast heard ;
*
Because thine heart was tender ,
and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD ,
when thou heardest what I spake against this plce ,
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 .
*
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 .
