[1] Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath. [2] He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, and walked in all the ways of David his father, and didn’t turn away to the right hand or to the left. [3] In the eighteenth year of King Josiah, the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to Yahweh’s house, saying, [4] “Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may count the money which is brought into Yahweh’s house, which the keepers of the threshold have gathered of the people. [5] Let them deliver it into the hand of the workers who have the oversight of Yahweh’s house; and let them give it to the workers who are in Yahweh’s house, to repair the damage to the house, [6] to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the house. [7] However, no accounting shall be asked of them for the money delivered into their hand, for they deal faithfully.” [8] Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in Yahweh’s house.” Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan, and he read it. [9] Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, “Your servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hands of the workmen who have the oversight of Yahweh’s house.” [10] Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered a book to me.” Then Shaphan read it before the king. [11] When the king had heard the words of the book of the law, he tore his clothes. [12] The king commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Achbor the son of Micaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, saying, [13] “Go inquire of Yahweh for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found; for great is Yahweh’s wrath that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this book, to do according to all that which is written concerning us.” [14] So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter); and they talked with her. [15] She said to them, “Yahweh the God of Israel says, ‘Tell the man who sent you to me, [16] “Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on this place and on its inhabitants, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah has read. [17] Because they have forsaken me and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and it will not be quenched.’” [18] But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Yahweh, tell him, “Yahweh the God of Israel says, ‘Concerning the words which you have heard, [19] because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before Yahweh when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard you,’ says Yahweh. [20] ‘Therefore behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes will not see all the evil which I will bring on this place.’”’” So they brought this message back to the king.

The Repair of the Temple

[3] And it came to pass in the eighteenth H8083 H6240 year H8141 of king H4428 Josiah, H2977 that the king H4428 sent H7971 H853 Shaphan H8227 the son H1121 of Azaliah, H683 the son H1121 of Meshullam, H4918 the scribe, H5608 to the house H1004 of the Lord, H3068 saying, H559 [4] Go up H5927 to Hilkiah H2518 the high H1419 priest, H3548 that he may sum H8552 H853 the silver H3701 which is brought H935 into the house H1004 of the Lord, H3068 which the keepers H8104 of the door H5592§ have gathered H622 of the people: H5971 [5] and let them deliver H5414 it into the hand H3027 of the doers H6213 of the work, H4399 that have the oversight H6485 of the house H1004 of the Lord: H3068 and let them give H5414 it to the doers H6213 of the work H4399 which is in the house H1004 of the Lord, H3068 to repair H2388 the breaches H919 of the house, H1004 [6] unto carpenters, H2796 and builders, H1129 and masons, H1443 and to buy H7069 timber H6086 and hewn H4274 stone H68 to repair H2388 H853 the house. H1004 [7] Howbeit there was no reckoning made H2803 with H854 them of the money H3701 that was delivered H5414 into their hand, H3027 because H3588 they dealt H6213 faithfully. H530

The Book of the Law

[8] And Hilkiah H2518 the high H1419 priest H3548 said H559 unto H413 Shaphan H8227 the scribe, H5608 I have found H4672 the book H5612 of the law H8451 in the house H1004 of the Lord. H3068 And Hilkiah H2518 gave H5414 the book H5612 to Shaphan, H8227 and he read H7121 it. [9] And Shaphan H8227 the scribe H5608 came H935 to the king, H4428 and brought H7725 the king H4428 word H1697 again, H7725 and said, H559 Thy servants H5650 have gathered H5413§ H853 the money H3701 that was found H4672 in the house, H1004 and have delivered H5414 it into the hand H3027 of them that do H6213 the work, H4399 that have the oversight H6485 of the house H1004 of the Lord. H3068 [10] And Shaphan H8227 the scribe H5608 shewed H5046 the king, H4428 saying, H559 Hilkiah H2518 the priest H3548 hath delivered H5414 me a book. H5612 And Shaphan H8227 read H7121 it before H6440 the king. H4428 [11] And it came to pass, when the king H4428 had heard H8085 H853 the words H1697 of the book H5612 of the law, H8451 that he rent H7167 H853 his clothes. H899 [12] And the king H4428 commanded H6680 H853 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 and Asahiah H6222 a servant H5650 of the king’s, H4428 saying, H559 [13] Go H3212 ye, enquire H1875 of the Lord H3068 for me, and for the people, H5971 and for all Judah, H3063 concerning H5921 the words H1697 of this book H5612 that is found: H4672 for great H1419 is the wrath H2534 of the Lord H3068 that is kindled H3341 against H5921 us, because our fathers H1 have H8085 not H3808 hearkened H8085 unto the words H1697 of this book, H5612 to do H6213 according unto all that which is written H3789 concerning us. [14] So Hilkiah H2518 the priest, H3548 and Ahikam, H296 and Achbor, H5907 and Shaphan, H8227 and Asahiah, H6222 went H3212 unto H413 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 of the wardrobe; H899§ (now she dwelt H3427 in Jerusalem H3389 in the college;)§ H4932 and they communed H1696 with her. [15] And she said H559 unto H413 them, Thus saith H559 the Lord H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 Tell H559 the man H376 that sent H7971 you to me, [16] Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord, H3068 Behold, I will bring H935 evil H7451 upon H5921 this H2088 place, H4725 and upon the inhabitants H3427 thereof, even all the words H1697 of the book H5612 which H834 the king H4428 of Judah H3063 hath read: H7121 [17] because they have forsaken H5800 me, and have burned incense H6999 unto other H312 gods, H430 that they might provoke me to anger H3707 with all the works H4639 of their hands; H3027 therefore my wrath H2534 shall be kindled H3341 against this place, H4725 and shall not be quenched. H3518 [18] But to the king H4428 of Judah H3063 which sent H7971 you to enquire H1875 of the Lord, H3068 thus H3541 shall ye say H559 to him, Thus saith H559 the Lord H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 As touching the words H1697 which thou hast heard; H8085 [19] because thine heart H3824 was tender, H7401 and thou hast humbled H3665 thyself before H6440 the Lord, H3068 when thou heardest H8085 what I spake H1696 against H5921 this H2088 place, H4725 and against the inhabitants H3427 thereof, that they should become a desolation H8047 and a curse, H7045 and hast rent H7167 H853 thy clothes, H899 and wept H1058 before H6440 me; I also have heard H8085 thee, saith H5002 the Lord. H3068 [20] Behold H2005 therefore, I will gather H622 thee unto thy fathers, H1 and thou shalt be gathered H622 into thy grave H6913 in peace; H7965 and thine eyes H5869 shall H7200 not H3808 see H7200 all H3605 the evil H7451 which H834 I will bring H935 upon H5921 this H2088 place. H4725 And they brought H7725 H853 the king H4428 word H1697 again. H7725
