2 Chronicles 34:14-22

14When they were bringing out the money which had been brought into the house of the Lord, 1Hilkiah the priest found the Book of the Law of the Lord given by Moses. 15Hilkiah responded and said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the Lord.” And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan. 16Then Shaphan brought the book to the king and 2reported further word to the king, saying, “Everything that was 3entrusted to your servants, they are doing. 17They have also emptied out the money which was found in the house of the Lord, and have handed it over to the supervisors and the workmen.” 18Moreover, Shaphan the scribe informed the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest gave me a book.” And Shaphan read from it in the presence of the king.

19When the king heard 4the words of the Law, 5he tore his clothes. 20Then the king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, 6Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, saying, 21“Go, inquire of the Lord for me and for those who are left in Israel and Judah, concerning the words of the book which has been found; for 7the wrath of the Lord which has poured out on us is great, because our fathers have not kept the word of the Lord, to act in accordance with everything that is written in this book.”

22So Hilkiah and those 8whom the king had told went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of 9Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, the keeper of the wardrobe (she lived in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter); and they spoke to her regarding this.
