Context of 2 Chronicles 34:17

15Hilkiah told Shaphan, the king's secretary, ‘I have found the book of the Law in the Lord's temple.’ He gave the book to Shaphan. 16Then Shaphan took the book to the king and he said, ‘Your servants are doing everything that you told them to do. They have paid out the money that was in the Lord's temple. They have given it to the leaders who have authority over the men who are doing the work.’ 18Then Shaphan, the king's secretary, told the king, ‘Hilkiah the priest has given a book to me.’ Then Shaphan read it aloud to the king. 19When the king heard the words in the book of God's laws, he was so upset that he tore his clothes.
