Context of 2 Chronicles 34:17
15Hilkiah informed Shaphan the scribe, “I found the law scroll in the Lord’s temple.” Hilkiah gave the scroll to Shaphan. 16Shaphan brought the scroll to the king and reported, “Your servants are doing everything assigned to them. They melted down the silver in the Lord’s temple and handed it over to the supervisors of the construction foremen.” 18Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a scroll.” Shaphan read it out loud before the king. 19When the king heard the words of the law scroll, he tore his clothes.
