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.
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.
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,
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:
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,
22:6 unto
the
carpenters,
and
to
the
builders,
and
to
the
masons,
and
for
buying
timber
and
hewn
stone
to
repair
the
house.
22:7 Howbeit
there
was
no
reckoning
made
with
them
of
the
money
that
was
delivered
into
their
hand;
for
they
dealt
faithfully.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
22:15 And
she
said
unto
them,
Thus
saith
Jehovah,
the
God
of
Israel:
Tell
ye
the
man
that
sent
you
unto
me,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
