2 Kings 22:1
|
|
Josiah was eight years old when he began to
reign; and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name
was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 22:2 |
|
And he did that which was right in the eyes
of Jehovah, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside
to the right hand or to the left. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 22:3 |
|
And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of
king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah the son of Meshullam,
the scribe, to the house of Jehovah, saying, |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 22:4 |
|
Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may
sum the money which is brought into the house of Jehovah, which the keepers of
the threshold have gathered of the people: |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 22:5 |
|
and let them deliver it into the hand of the
workmen that have the oversight of the house of Jehovah; and let them give it
to the workmen that are in the house of Jehovah, to repair the breaches of the
house, |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 22:6 |
|
unto the carpenters, and to the builders, and
to the masons, and for buying timber and hewn stone to repair the house. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 22:7 |
|
Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them
of the money that was delivered into their hand; for they dealt faithfully. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 22:8 |
|
And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan
the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of Jehovah. And Hilkiah
delivered the book to Shaphan, and he read it. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 22:9 |
|
And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and
brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have emptied out the money
that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of the workmen
that have the oversight of the house of Jehovah. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 22:10 |
|
And Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying,
Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.
|
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 22:11 |
|
And it came to pass, when the king had heard
the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 22:12 |
|
And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and
Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe,
and Asaiah the king's servant, saying, |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 22:13 |
|
Go ye, inquire of Jehovah 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 Jehovah 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. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 22:14 |
|
So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor,
and Shaphan, and Asaiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum
the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she dwelt in
Jerusalem in the second quarter); and they communed with her. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 22:15 |
|
And she said unto them, Thus saith Jehovah,
the God of Israel: Tell ye the man that sent you unto me, |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 22:16 |
|
Thus saith Jehovah, 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. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 22:17 |
|
Because they have forsaken me, and have burned
incense unto 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
shall not be quenched. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 22:18 |
|
But unto the king of Judah, who sent you to
inquire of Jehovah, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel:
As touching the words which thou hast heard, |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 22:19 |
|
because thy heart was tender, and thou didst
humble thyself before Jehovah, when thou heardest what I spake against this place,
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 Jehovah. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 22:20 |
|
Therefore, behold, I will gather thee to thy
fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine
eyes see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the
king word again. |
