2 Kings 22 (WEBP)

[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.

2 Kings 22 (KJVS)

[1] Josiah H2977 [was] eight H8083 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign H4427 (8800), and he reigned H4427 (8804) thirty H7970 and one H259 years H8141 in Jerusalem H3389. And his mother’s H517 name H8034 [was] Jedidah H3040, the daughter H1323 of Adaiah H5718 of Boscath H1218.
[2] And he did H6213 (8799) [that which was] right H3477 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068, and walked H3212 (8799) in all the way H1870 of David H1732 his father H1, and turned not aside H5493 (8804) 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 (8804) Shaphan H8227 the son H1121 of Azaliah H683, the son H1121 of Meshullam H4918, the scribe H5608 (8802), to the house H1004 of the LORD H3068, saying H559 (8800),
[4] Go up H5927 (8798) to Hilkiah H2518 the high H1419 priest H3548, that he may sum H8552 (8686) the silver H3701 which is brought H935 (8716) into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068, which the keepers H8104 (8802) of the door H5592 have gathered H622 (8804) of the people H5971:
[5] And let them deliver H5414 (8799) it into the hand H3027 of the doers H6213 (8802) of the work H4399, that have the oversight H6485 (8716) of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068: and let them give H5414 (8799) it to the doers H6213 (8802) of the work H4399 which [is] in the house H1004 of the LORD H3068, to repair H2388 (8763) the breaches H919 of the house H1004,
[6] Unto carpenters H2796, and builders H1129 (8802), and masons H1443 (8802), and to buy H7069 (8800) timber H6086 and hewn H4274 stone H68 to repair H2388 (8763) the house H1004.
[7] Howbeit there was no reckoning made H2803 (8735) with them of the money H3701 that was delivered H5414 (8737) into their hand H3027, because they dealt H6213 (8802) faithfully H530.
[8] And Hilkiah H2518 the high H1419 priest H3548 said H559 (8799) unto Shaphan H8227 the scribe H5608 (8802), I have found H4672 (8804) the book H5612 of the law H8451 in the house H1004 of the LORD H3068. And Hilkiah H2518 gave H5414 (8799) the book H5612 to Shaphan H8227, and he read H7121 (8799) it.
[9] And Shaphan H8227 the scribe H5608 (8802) came H935 (8799) to the king H4428, and brought H7725 the king H4428 word H1697 again H7725 (8686), and said H559 (8799), Thy servants H5650 have gathered H5413 (8689) the money H3701 that was found H4672 (8737) in the house H1004, and have delivered H5414 (8799) it into the hand H3027 of them that do H6213 (8802) the work H4399, that have the oversight H6485 (8716) of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068.
[10] And Shaphan H8227 the scribe H5608 (8802) shewed H5046 (8686) the king H4428, saying H559 (8800), Hilkiah H2518 the priest H3548 hath delivered H5414 (8804) me a book H5612. And Shaphan H8227 read H7121 (8799) it before H6440 the king H4428.
[11] And it came to pass, when the king H4428 had heard H8085 (8800) the words H1697 of the book H5612 of the law H8451, that he rent H7167 (8799) his clothes H899.
[12] And the king H4428 commanded H6680 (8762) 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 (8802), and Asahiah H6222 a servant H5650 of the king’s H4428, saying H559 (8800),
[13] Go H3212 (8798) ye, enquire H1875 (8798) 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 (8737): for great H1419 [is] the wrath H2534 of the LORD H3068 that is kindled H3341 (8738) against us, because our fathers H1 have not hearkened H8085 (8804) unto the words H1697 of this book H5612, to do H6213 (8800) according unto all that which is written H3789 (8803) concerning us.
[14] So Hilkiah H2518 the priest H3548, and Ahikam H296, and Achbor H5907, and Shaphan H8227, and Asahiah H6222, went H3212 (8799) 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 (8802) of the wardrobe H899; (now she dwelt H3427 (8802) in Jerusalem H3389 in the college H4932;) and they communed H1696 (8762) with her.
[15] And she said H559 (8799) unto them, Thus saith H559 (8804) the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478, Tell H559 (8798) the man H376 that sent H7971 (8804) you to me,
[16] Thus saith H559 (8804) the LORD H3068, Behold, I will bring H935 (8688) evil H7451 upon this place H4725, and upon the inhabitants H3427 (8802) thereof, [even] all the words H1697 of the book H5612 which the king H4428 of Judah H3063 hath read H7121 (8804):
[17] Because they have forsaken H5800 (8804) me, and have burned incense H6999 (8762) unto other H312 gods H430, that they might provoke me to anger H3707 (8687) with all the works H4639 of their hands H3027; therefore my wrath H2534 shall be kindled H3341 (8738) against this place H4725, and shall not be quenched H3518 (8799).
[18] But to the king H4428 of Judah H3063 which sent H7971 (8802) you to enquire H1875 (8800) of the LORD H3068, thus shall ye say H559 (8799) to him, Thus saith H559 (8804) the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478, [As touching] the words H1697 which thou hast heard H8085 (8804);
[19] Because thine heart H3824 was tender H7401 (8804), and thou hast humbled H3665 (8735) thyself before H6440 the LORD H3068, when thou heardest H8085 (8800) what I spake H1696 (8765) against this place H4725, and against the inhabitants H3427 (8802) thereof, that they should become a desolation H8047 and a curse H7045, and hast rent H7167 (8799) thy clothes H899, and wept H1058 (8799) before H6440 me; I also have heard H8085 (8804) [thee], saith H5002 (8803) the LORD H3068.
[20] Behold therefore, I will gather H622 (8802) thee unto thy fathers H1, and thou shalt be gathered H622 (8738) into thy grave H6913 in peace H7965; and thine eyes H5869 shall not see H7200 (8799) all the evil H7451 which I will bring H935 (8688) upon this place H4725. And they brought H7725 the king H4428 word H1697 again H7725 (8686).

2 Kings 22 (YLT)

[1] A son of eight years is Josiah in his reigning, and thirty and one years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother is Jedidah daughter of Adaiah of Boskath,
[2] and he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, and walketh in all the way of David his father, and hath not turned aside-right or left.
[3] And it cometh to pass, in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, the king hath sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of Jehovah, saying,
[4] ‘Go up unto Hilkiah the high priest, and he doth complete the silver that is brought into the house of Jehovah, that the keepers of the threshold have gathered from the people,
[5] and they give it into the hand of the doers of the work, the overseers, in the house of Jehovah, and they give it to the doers of the work that is in the house of Jehovah, to strengthen the breach of the house,
[6] to artificers, and to builders, and to repairers of the wall, and to buy wood and hewn stones to strengthen the house;
[7] only, the silver that is given into their hand is not reckoned with them, for in faithfulness they are dealing.
[8] And Hilkiah the high priest saith unto Shaphan the scribe, ‘A book of the law I have found in the house of Jehovah;’ and Hilkiah giveth the book unto Shaphan, and he readeth it.
[9] And Shaphan the scribe cometh in unto the king, and bringeth the king back word, and saith, ‘Thy servants have poured out the silver that hath been found in the house, and give it into the hand of the doers of the work, the inspectors, in the house of Jehovah.’
[10] And Shaphan the scribe declareth to the king, saying, ‘A book hath Hilkiah the priest given to me;’ and Shaphan readeth it before the king.
[11] And it cometh to pass, at the king’s hearing the words of the book of the law, that he rendeth his garments,
[12] and the king commandeth Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam son of Shaphan, and Achbor son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah servant of the king, saying,
[13] ‘Go, seek Jehovah for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found, for great is the fury of Jehovah that is kindled against us, because that our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according to all that is written for us.’
[14] And Hilkiah the priest goeth, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, unto Huldah the prophetess, wife of Shallum, son of Tikvah, son of Harhas, keeper of the garments, and she is dwelling in Jerusalem in the second, and they speak unto her.
[15] And she saith unto them, ‘Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Say to the man who hath sent you unto me:
[16] Thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am bringing in evil unto this place and on its inhabitants, all the words of the book that the king of Judah hath read,
[17] because that they have forsaken Me, and make perfume to other gods, so as to provoke Me to anger with every work of their hands, and My wrath hath been kindled against this place, and it is not quenched.
[18] ‘And unto the king of Judah, who is sending you to seek Jehovah, thus do ye say unto him, Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, The words that thou hast heard-
[19] because thy heart is tender, and thou art humbled because of Jehovah, in thy hearing that which I have spoken against this place, and against its inhabitants, to be for a desolation, and for a reviling, and dost rend thy garments, and weep before Me-I also have heard-the affirmation of Jehovah-
[20] therefore, lo, I am gathering thee unto thy fathers, and thou hast been gathered unto thy grave in peace, and thine eyes do not look on any of the evil that I am bringing in on this place;’ and they bring the king back word.
