2 Kings 22:3-14
3Now 1in the eighteenthH8083H6240 yearH8141 of KingH4428 JosiahH2977, the kingH4428 sentH7971 ShaphanH8227, the sonH1121 of AzaliahH683 the sonH1121 of MeshullamH4918 the scribeH5613, to the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, sayingH559, 4“2GoH5927 upH5927 to HilkiahH2518 the highH1419 priestH3548, and have him 3countH8552 allH8552 the moneyH3701 broughtH935 into the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, whichH834 the doorkeepersH8104H5592 have collectedH622 from the peopleH5971. 54And have them handH5414H3027 it overH5414 to the workmenH6213H4399 who haveH6485 the oversightH6485 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, and have them giveH5414 it to the workmenH6213H4399 whoH834 are in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 to repairH2388 the 5damageH919 to the houseH1004: 6to the carpentersH2796, the buildersH1129, the masonsH1443, and for buyingH7069 timberH6086 and cutH4274 stoneH68 to repairH2388 the houseH1004. 7HoweverH389, 6noH3808 accountingH2803 shall beH2803 madeH2803 with them for the moneyH3701 handedH5414H3027 overH5414 to them, becauseH3588 they dealH6213 honestlyH530.”
8Then HilkiahH2518 the highH1419 priestH3548 saidH559 to ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5613, “7I have foundH4672 the BookH5612 of the LawH8451 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068.” And HilkiahH2518 gaveH5414 the bookH5612 to ShaphanH8227, who readH7121 it. 9Then ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5613 cameH935 to the kingH4428 and broughtH7725 backH7725 wordH1697 to the kingH4428 and saidH559, “Your servantsH5650 have emptiedH5413 outH5413 the moneyH3701 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004, and have handedH5414H3027 it overH5414 to the workmenH6213H4399 who haveH6485 the oversightH6485 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068.” 10Moreover, ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5613 informedH5046 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, 8he toreH7167 his clothesH899. 12Then the kingH4428 commandedH6680 HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548, 9AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, 1011AchborH5907 the sonH1121 of MicaiahH4320, ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5613, and AsaiahH6222 the king’sH4428 servantH5650, sayingH559, 13“GoH1980, inquireH1875 of the LordH3068 for me and for the peopleH5971 and allH3605 JudahH3063 concerningH5921 the wordsH1697 of thisH2088 bookH5612 that has been foundH4672, for 12the wrathH2534 of the LordH3068 that burnsH3341 against us is greatH1419, becauseH5921H834 our fathersH1 did not listenH8085 to the wordsH1697 of thisH2088 bookH5612, to actH6213 in accordance with everythingH3605 that is writtenH3789 regardingH5921 us.”
14So HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548, AhikamH296, AchborH5907, ShaphanH8227, and AsaiahH6222 wentH1980 to HuldahH2468 the prophetessH5031, the wifeH802 of ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of 1314TikvahH8616, the sonH1121 of HarhasH2745, keeperH8104 of the wardrobeH899 (and she livedH3427 in JerusalemH3389 in the 15SecondH4932 Quarter); and they spokeH1696 to her.
