Today's New International Version Help
22Josiah 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.H2977H8083H8141H1121H4427H4427H7970H259H8141H3389H517H8034H3040H1323H5718H1218
2He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD and followed completely the ways of his father David, not turning aside to the right or to the left.H6213H3477H5869H3068H3212H1870H1732H1H5493H3225H8040
3In the eighteenth year of his reign, King Josiah sent the secretary, Shaphan son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, to the temple of the LORD. He said:H8083H6240H8141H4428H2977H4428H7971H8227H1121H683H1121H4918H5608H1004H3068H559
4"Go up to Hilkiah the high priest and have him get ready the money that has been brought into the temple of the LORD, which the doorkeepers have collected from the people.H5927H2518H1419H3548H8552H3701H935H1004H3068H8104H5592H622H5971
5Have them entrust it to the men appointed to supervise the work on the temple. And have these men pay the workers who repair the temple of the LORD—H5414H3027H6213H4399H6485H1004H3068H5414H6213H4399H1004H3068H2388H919H1004
6the carpenters, the builders and the masons. Also have them purchase timber and dressed stone to repair the temple.H2796H1129H1443H7069H6086H4274H68H2388H1004
7But they need not account for the money entrusted to them, because they are honest in their dealings."H2803H3701H5414H3027H6213H530
8Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the secretary, "I have found the Book of the Law in the temple of the LORD." He gave it to Shaphan, who read it.H2518H1419H3548H559H8227H5608H4672H5612H8451H1004H3068H2518H5414H5612H8227H7121
9Then Shaphan the secretary went to the king and reported to him: "Your officials have paid out the money that was in the temple of the LORD and have entrusted it to the workers and supervisors at the temple."H8227H5608H935H4428H7725H4428H1697H7725H559H5650H5413H3701H4672H1004H5414H3027H6213H4399H6485H1004H3068
10Then Shaphan the secretary informed the king, "Hilkiah the priest has given me a book." And Shaphan read from it in the presence of the king.H8227H5608H5046H4428H559H2518H3548H5414H5612H8227H7121H6440H4428
11When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, he tore his robes.H4428H8085H1697H5612H8451H7167H899
12He gave these orders to Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Akbor son of Micaiah, Shaphan the secretary and Asaiah the king's attendant:H4428H6680H2518H3548H296H1121H8227H5907H1121H4320H8227H5608H6222H5650H4428H559
13"Go and inquire of the LORD for me and for the people and for all Judah about what is written in this book that has been found. Great is the LORD's anger that burns against us because those who have gone before us have not obeyed the words of this book; they have not acted in accordance with all that is written there concerning us."H3212H1875H3068H5971H3063H1697H5612H4672H1419H2534H3068H3341H1H8085H1697H5612H6213H3789
14Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Akbor, Shaphan and Asaiah went to speak to the prophet Huldah, who was the wife of Shallum son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the New Quarter.H2518H3548H296H5907H8227H6222H3212H2468H5031H802H7967H1121H8616H1121H2745H8104H899H3427H3389H4932H1696
15She said to them, "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Tell the man who sent you to me,H559H559H3068H430H3478H559H376H7971
16'This is what the LORD says: I am going to bring disaster on this place and its people, according to everything written in the book the king of Judah has read.H559H3068H935H7451H4725H3427H1697H5612H4428H3063H7121
17Because they have forsaken me and burned incense to other gods and aroused my anger by all the idols their hands have made, my anger will burn against this place and will not be quenched.'H5800H6999H312H430H3707H4639H3027H2534H3341H4725H3518
18Tell the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, 'This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says concerning the words you heard:H4428H3063H7971H1875H3068H559H559H3068H430H3478H1697H8085
19Because your heart was responsive and you humbled yourself before the LORD when you heard what I have spoken against this place and its people—that they would become a curse and be laid waste—and because you tore your robes and wept in my presence, I also have heard you, declares the LORD.H3824H7401H3665H6440H3068H8085H1696H4725H3427H8047H7045H7167H899H1058H6440H8085H5002H3068
20Therefore I will gather you to your ancestors, and you will be buried in peace. Your eyes will not see all the disaster I am going to bring on this place.' " So they took her answer back to the king.H622H1H622H6913H7965H5869H7200H7451H935H4725H7725H4428H1697H7725
