And his mother's{H517} name{H8034} was Jedidah{H3040}, the daughter{H1323} of Adaiah{H5718} of Boscath{H1218}. 2 And he did{H6213}{(H8799)} that which was right{H3477} in the sight{H5869} of the LORD{H3068}, and walked{H3212}{(H8799)} in all the way{H1870} of David{H1732} his father{H1}, and turned not aside{H5493}{(H8804)} 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}{(H8804)} Shaphan{H8227} the son{H1121} of Azaliah{H683}, the son{H1121} of Meshullam{H4918}, the scribe{H5608}{(H8802)}, to the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, 4 Go up{H5927}{(H8798)} to Hilkiah{H2518} the high{H1419} priest{H3548}, that he may sum{H8552}{(H8686)} the silver{H3701} which is brought{H935}{(H8716)} into the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}, which the keepers{H8104}{(H8802)} of the door{H5592} have gathered{H622}{(H8804)} of the people{H5971}: 5 And let them deliver{H5414}{(H8799)} it into the hand{H3027} of the doers{H6213}{(H8802)} of the work{H4399}, that have the oversight{H6485}{(H8716)} of the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}: and let them give{H5414}{(H8799)} it to the doers{H6213}{(H8802)} of the work{H4399} which is in the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}, to repair{H2388}{(H8763)} the breaches{H919} of the house{H1004}, 6 Unto carpenters{H2796}, and builders{H1129}{(H8802)}, and masons{H1443}{(H8802)}, and to buy{H7069}{(H8800)} timber{H6086} and hewn{H4274} stone{H68} to repair{H2388}{(H8763)} the house{H1004}. 7 Howbeit there was no reckoning made{H2803}{(H8735)} with them of the money{H3701} that was delivered{H5414}{(H8737)} into their hand{H3027}, because they dealt{H6213}{(H8802)} faithfully{H530}. 8 And Hilkiah{H2518} the high{H1419} priest{H3548} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Shaphan{H8227} the scribe{H5608}{(H8802)}, I have found{H4672}{(H8804)} the book{H5612} of the law{H8451} in the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}. And Hilkiah{H2518} gave{H5414}{(H8799)} the book{H5612} to Shaphan{H8227}, and he read{H7121}{(H8799)} it. 9 And Shaphan{H8227} the scribe{H5608}{(H8802)} came{H935}{(H8799)} to the king{H4428}, and brought{H7725} the king{H4428} word{H1697} again{H7725}{(H8686)}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, Thy servants{H5650} have gathered{H5413}{(H8689)} the money{H3701} that was found{H4672}{(H8737)} in the house{H1004}, and have delivered{H5414}{(H8799)} it into the hand{H3027} of them that do{H6213}{(H8802)} the work{H4399}, that have the oversight{H6485}{(H8716)} of the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}. 10 And Shaphan{H8227} the scribe{H5608}{(H8802)} shewed{H5046}{(H8686)} the king{H4428}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Hilkiah{H2518} the priest{H3548} hath delivered{H5414}{(H8804)} me a book{H5612}. And Shaphan{H8227} read{H7121}{(H8799)} it before{H6440} the king{H4428}. 11 And it came to pass, when the king{H4428} had heard{H8085}{(H8800)} the words{H1697} of the book{H5612} of the law{H8451}, that he rent{H7167}{(H8799)} his clothes{H899}. 12 And the king{H4428} commanded{H6680}{(H8762)} Hilkiah{H2518} the priest{H3548}, and Ahikam{H296} the son{H1121} of Shaphan{H8227}, and Achbor{H5907} the son{H1121} of Michaiah{H4320}, and Shaphan{H8227} the scribe{H5608}{(H8802)}, and Asahiah{H6222} a servant{H5650} of the king's{H4428}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, 13 Go{H3212}{(H8798)} ye, enquire{H1875}{(H8798)} 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}{(H8737)}: for great{H1419} is the wrath{H2534} of the LORD{H3068} that is kindled{H3341}{(H8738)} against us, because our fathers{H1} have not hearkened{H8085}{(H8804)} unto the words{H1697} of this book{H5612}, to do{H6213}{(H8800)} according unto all that which is written{H3789}{(H8803)} concerning us. 14 So Hilkiah{H2518} the priest{H3548}, and Ahikam{H296}, and Achbor{H5907}, and Shaphan{H8227}, and Asahiah{H6222}, went{H3212}{(H8799)} unto Huldah{H2468} the prophetess{H5031}, the wife{H802} of Shallum{H7967} the son{H1121} of Tikvah{H8616}, the son{H1121} of Harhas{H2745}, keeper{H8104}{(H8802)} of the wardrobe{H899};(now she dwelt{H3427}{(H8802)} in Jerusalem{H3389} in the college{H4932};) and they communed{H1696}{(H8762)} with her. 15 And she said{H559}{(H8799)} unto them, Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} God{H430} of Israel{H3478}, Tell{H559}{(H8798)} the man{H376} that sent{H7971}{(H8804)} you to me, 16 Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}, Behold, I will bring{H935}{(H8688)} evil{H7451} upon this place{H4725}, and upon the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} thereof, even all the words{H1697} of the book{H5612} which the king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} hath read{H7121}{(H8804)}: 17 Because they have forsaken{H5800}{(H8804)} me, and have burned incense{H6999}{(H8762)} unto other{H312} gods{H430}, that they might provoke me to anger{H3707}{(H8687)} with all the works{H4639} of their hands{H3027}; therefore my wrath{H2534} shall be kindled{H3341}{(H8738)} against this place{H4725}, and shall not be quenched{H3518}{(H8799)}. 18 But to the king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} which sent{H7971}{(H8802)} you to enquire{H1875}{(H8800)} of the LORD{H3068}, thus shall ye say{H559}{(H8799)} to him, Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} God{H430} of Israel{H3478}, As touching the words{H1697} which thou hast heard{H8085}{(H8804)}; 19 Because thine heart{H3824} was tender{H7401}{(H8804)}, and thou hast humbled{H3665}{(H8735)} thyself before{H6440} the LORD{H3068}, when thou heardest{H8085}{(H8800)} what I spake{H1696}{(H8765)} against this place{H4725}, and against the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} thereof, that they should become a desolation{H8047} and a curse{H7045}, and hast rent{H7167}{(H8799)} thy clothes{H899}, and wept{H1058}{(H8799)} before{H6440} me; I also have heard{H8085}{(H8804)} thee, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}. 20 Behold therefore, I will gather{H622}{(H8802)} thee unto thy fathers{H1}, and thou shalt be gathered{H622}{(H8738)} into thy grave{H6913} in peace{H7965}; and thine eyes{H5869} shall not see{H7200}{(H8799)} all the evil{H7451} which I will bring{H935}{(H8688)} upon this place{H4725}. And they brought{H7725} the king{H4428} word{H1697} again{H7725}{(H8686)}.
