2 Kings 22:8-20

8Then HilkiahH2518 the highH1419 priestH3548 saidH559 to ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5613, “1I have foundH4672 the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068.” And HilkiahH2518 gaveH5414 the bookH5612 to ShaphanH8227 who readH7121 it. 9ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5613 cameH935 to the kingH4428 and broughtH7725 backH7725 wordH1697 to the kingH4428 and saidH559, “Your servantsH5650 have emptiedH5413 out the moneyH3701 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004, and have deliveredH5414 it into the handH3027 of the workmenH4399 who have the oversightH6485 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068.” 10Moreover, ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5613 toldH5046 the kingH4428 sayingH559, “HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548 has givenH5414 me a bookH5612.” And ShaphanH8227 readH7121 it in the presenceH6440 of the kingH4428.

11When the kingH4428 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 of the lawH8451, 2he toreH7167 his clothesH899. 12Then the kingH4428 commandedH6680 HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548, 3AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, 45AchborH5907 the sonH1121 of MicaiahH4320, ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5613, and AsaiahH6222 the king’sH4428 servantH5650 sayingH559, 13“GoH1980, inquireH1875 of the LordH3068 for me and the peopleH5971 and allH3605 JudahH3063 concerningH5921 the wordsH1697 of thisH2088 bookH5612 that has been foundH4672, for 6greatH1419 is the wrathH2534 of the LordH3068 that burnsH3341 against us, becauseH5921H834 our fathersH1 have not listenedH8085 to the wordsH1697 of thisH2088 bookH5612, to doH6213 according to allH3605 that is writtenH3789 concerningH5921 us.”

14So HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548, AhikamH296, AchborH5907, ShaphanH8227, and AsaiahH6222 wentH1980 to HuldahH2468 the prophetessH5031, the wifeH802 of ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of 78TikvahH8616, the sonH1121 of HarhasH2745, keeperH8104 of the wardrobeH899 (now she livedH3427 in JerusalemH3389 in the 9SecondH4932 Quarter); and they spokeH1696 to her. 15She saidH559 to them, “ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, ‘TellH559 the manH376 whoH834 sentH7971 you to me, 16thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “BeholdH2009, I 10bringH935 evilH7463 on thisH2088 placeH4725 and on its inhabitantsH3427, even allH3605 the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 whichH834 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 has readH7121. 1711BecauseH8478H834 they have forsakenH5800 Me and have burnedH6999 incenseH6999 to otherH312 godsH430 that they might provokeH3707 Me to angerH3707 with allH3605 the workH4639 of their handsH3027, therefore My wrathH2534 burnsH3341 against thisH2088 placeH4725, and it shall not be quenchedH3518.”’ 18But to 12the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 who sentH7971 you to inquireH1875 of the LordH3068 thusH3541 shall you sayH559 to him, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, “Regarding the wordsH1697 whichH834 you have heardH8085, 1913becauseH3282 your heartH3824 was tenderH7401 and 14you humbledH3665 yourselfH3665 beforeH4480H6440 the LordH3068 when you heardH8085 whatH834 I spokeH1696 againstH5921 thisH2088 placeH4725 and againstH5921 its inhabitantsH3427 that they should becomeH1961 15a desolationH8047 and a 16curseH7045, and you have 17tornH7167 your clothesH899 and weptH1058 beforeH6440 Me, I trulyH1571 have heardH8085 you,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. 20“ThereforeH3651, beholdH2009, I will gatherH622 you to your fathersH1, and 18you will be gatheredH622 to your graveH6913 in peaceH7965, and your eyesH5869 will not seeH7200 allH3605 the evilH7463 whichH834 I will bringH935 on thisH2088 placeH4725.”’” So they broughtH7725 backH7725 wordH1697 to the kingH4428.
