8Then HilkiahH2518 the highH1419H5921 priestH3548 said toH559 ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608, “I have foundH4672 the BookH5612 of the LawH8451 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068!” And heH2518 gaveH5414 it toH413 ShaphanH8227, who read itH7121.

9And ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608 wentH935 toH413 the kingH4428 and reportedH7725, “Your servantsH5650 have paid outH5413 the moneyH3701 that was foundH4672 in the templeH1004 and have putH5414 it intoH5921 the handsH3027 of the workersH6213H4399 and supervisorsH6485 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.”

10Moreover, ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608 toldH5046 the kingH4428H559, “HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548 has givenH5414 me a bookH5612.” And ShaphanH8227 read itH7121 in the presenceH6440 of the kingH4428.

When the kingH4428 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of the BookH5612 of the LawH8451, he toreH7167 his clothesH899 12and commandedH6680 HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548, AhikamH296 sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, AchborH59071 sonH1121 of MicaiahH4320,2 ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608, and AsaiahH6222 the servantH5650 of the kingH4428: 13“GoH1980 and inquireH1875 of the LORDH3068 for meH1157, forH1157 the peopleH5971, and forH1157 allH3605 JudahH3063 concerningH5921 the wordsH1697 in thisH2088 bookH5612 that has been foundH4672. ForH3588 greatH1419 is the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 thatH834H1931 burnsH3341 against us becauseH834 our fathersH1 have notH3808 obeyedH8085 the wordsH1697 of thisH2088 bookH5612 by doingH6213 allH3605 that is writtenH3789 about usH5921.”

14So HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548, AhikamH296, AchborH5907, ShaphanH8227, and AsaiahH6222 wentH1980 and spokeH1696 toH413 HuldahH2468 the prophetessH5031, the wifeH802 of ShallumH7967 sonH1121 of TikvahH8616,3 the sonH1121 of HarhasH2745,4 the keeperH8104 of the wardrobeH899. SheH1931 livedH3427 in JerusalemH3389, in the Second DistrictH4932.5
