Rashi on Tanakh2 Kings 22

I have found the Torah Scroll. It was hidden under a layer of stones where they had concealed it when Achaz burned the Torah.¹According to II Divrei Hayomim 34:14, this was the original Torah Scroll written by Moshe. God had commanded Moshe to write this Scroll at the end of his life. See Devarim 31:24-26.

Inquire of Adonoy on my behalf. He saw written, "Adonoy will lead you and your king."²Devarim 28:36. ³When they opened the Torah Scroll it was found rolled to this section. This section deals with the exile of Shomron and Yehudah with its king. Chilkiyoh gave the Torah Scroll to Shofon to read to the king with the hope that perhaps he would come up with a suggestion to alleviate the dreadful situation.—Radak

To Chuldoh. Our Rabbis said that because a woman is more merciful than a man,⁴They therefore hoped she would beseech God for mercy, that He change the evil decree to a favorable one.—Maharsha in Maseches Megillah 12b he, therefore, did not send to Yirmiyohu [to inquire]. Others say that Yirmiyohu was not there because he went to bring back the ten tribes.⁵See Maseches Megillah 14b and Rashi there.

In the study house. [Targum Yonoson rendered,] in the study⁶שנה[=study] house. There is a gate in the Temple courtyard, named "the Gate of Chuldoh" [as stated] in Maseches Midos.⁷1:3; according to that Mishnah the two Gates of Chuldoh led to the Temple Mount. Others interpret "במשנה" as "outside the wall/' [i.e.,] between the two walls, which are double⁸משנה [=double] as in “a double portion [=משנה] of food” in Shemos 16:22. [around] the city. (במשנה [i.e.,] she was teaching the Oral Law to the elders of the generation, i.e., the Mishnah. An annotation of Rabbi Akiva.) In the study house. (From, "These are the words,"⁹Devarim1:1. until "before the eyes of all Yisroel,"¹⁰Ibid. 33-12. ¹¹She expounded on Chumash Devarim which is known as Mishnah Torah [=משנה תורה] because many topics from other Chumashim are repeated in it. i.e., the Book of Devarim, also known as Misheh Torah, and likewise all the things that are repeated in the Torah, she expounded on in public, and she revealed the punishments and the exiles which were doubled for those who transgress the secrets and the allusions of the Torah. The Secret of Righteousness.)

And you will be gathered into your grave in peace. And what is the peace?¹²Although Yoshiyahu was killed in a battle with Paro Necho, he is considered as having died in peace because he died while the Bnei Yisroel were living in peace, before the destruction began.—Radak "Your eyes will not see," the destruction of the Beis [Hamikdosh].¹³See Maseches Moed Katan 28b.
