2 Chronicles 34:14-22

14While they were bringing outH3318 the moneyH3701 that had been takenH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548 foundH4672 the BookH5612 of the LawH8451 of the LORDH3068 given byH30271 MosesH4872. 15And HilkiahH2518 saidH559H6030 toH413 ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608, “I have foundH4672 the BookH5612 of the LawH8451 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068!” And heH2518 gaveH5414 it toH413 ShaphanH8227.

16Then ShaphanH8227 broughtH935 the bookH5612 toH413 the kingH4428 andH5750 reportedH7725H1697H559, “Your servantsH5650H1992 are doingH6213 allH3605 thatH834 has been placedH5414 in their handsH3027. 17They have paid outH5413 the moneyH3701 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 and have putH5414 it intoH5921 the handsH3027 of the supervisorsH6485H5921 and workersH6213H4399.”

18Moreover, ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608 toldH5046 the kingH4428H559, “HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548 has givenH5414 me a bookH5612.” And ShaphanH8227 readH7121 it in the presenceH6440 of the kingH4428.

When the kingH4428 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of the LawH8451, he toreH7167 his clothesH899 20and commandedH6680 HilkiahH2518, AhikamH296 sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, AbdonH56582 sonH1121 of MicahH4318,3 ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608, and AsaiahH6222 the servantH5650 of the kingH4428H559: 21“GoH1980 and inquireH1875 of the LORDH3068 for meH1157 and forH1157 those remainingH7604 in IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063 concerningH5921 the wordsH1697 in the bookH5612 thatH834 has been foundH4672. ForH3588 greatH1419 is the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 thatH834 has been poured outH5413 on us becauseH5921 our fathersH1 have notH3808 keptH8104 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 by doingH6213 allH3605 that is writtenH3789 inH5921 thisH2088 bookH5612.”

22So HilkiahH2518 and thoseH834 the kingH4428 had designated wentH1980 and spokeH1696 toH413 HuldahH24684 the prophetessH5031, the wifeH802 of ShallumH7967 sonH1121 of TokhathH8445,5 the sonH1121 of HasrahH2641,6 the keeperH8104 of the wardrobeH899. SheH1931 livedH3427 in JerusalemH3389, in the Second DistrictH4932.7
