JosiahH2977 was eightH8083 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 thirtyH7970 and oneH259 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was JedidahH3040, the daughterH1323 of AdaiahH5718 of BoscathH1218.
And he didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and walkedH3212 in all the wayH1870 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1, and turned not asideH5493 to the right handH3225 or to the leftH8040.
And it came to pass in the eighteenthH8083+H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 JosiahH2977, that the kingH4428 sentH7971 ShaphanH8227 the sonH1121 of AzaliahH683, the sonH1121 of MeshullamH4918, the scribeH5608, to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559,
Go upH5927 to HilkiahH2518 the highH1419 priestH3548, that he may sumH8552 the silverH3701 which is broughtH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, which the keepersH8104 of the doorH5592 have gatheredH622 of the peopleH5971: {door: Heb. threshold}
And let them deliverH5414 it into the handH3027 of the doersH6213 of the workH4399, that have the oversightH6485 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: and let them giveH5414 it to the doersH6213 of the workH4399 which is in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, to repairH2388 the breachesH919 of the houseH1004,
Unto carpentersH2796, and buildersH1129, and masonsH1443, and to buyH7069 timberH6086 and hewnH4274 stoneH68 to repairH2388 the houseH1004.
Howbeit there was no reckoning madeH2803 with them of the moneyH3701 that was deliveredH5414 into their handH3027, because they dealtH6213 faithfullyH530.
And HilkiahH2518 the highH1419 priestH3548 saidH559 unto ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608, I have foundH4672 the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. And HilkiahH2518 gaveH5414 the bookH5612 to ShaphanH8227, and he readH7121 it.
And ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608 cameH935 to the kingH4428, and broughtH7725 the kingH4428 wordH1697 againH7725, and saidH559, Thy servantsH5650 have gatheredH5413 the moneyH3701 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004, and have deliveredH5414 it into the handH3027 of them that doH6213 the workH4399, that have the oversightH6485 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {gathered: Heb. melted}
And ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608 shewedH5046 the kingH4428, sayingH559, HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548 hath deliveredH5414 me a bookH5612. And ShaphanH8227 readH7121 it beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
And it came to pass, when the kingH4428 had heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 of the lawH8451, that he rentH7167 his clothesH899.
And the kingH4428 commandedH6680 HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548, and AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, and AchborH5907 the sonH1121 of MichaiahH4320, and ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608, and AsahiahH6222 a servantH5650 of the king'sH4428, sayingH559,
GoH3212 ye, enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068 for me, and for the peopleH5971, and for all JudahH3063, concerning the wordsH1697 of this bookH5612 that is foundH4672: for greatH1419 is the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 that is kindledH3341 against us, because our fathersH1 have not hearkenedH8085 unto the wordsH1697 of this bookH5612, to doH6213 according unto all that which is writtenH3789 concerning us.
So HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548, and AhikamH296, and AchborH5907, and ShaphanH8227, and AsahiahH6222, wentH3212 unto HuldahH2468 the prophetessH5031, the wifeH802 of ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of TikvahH8616, the sonH1121 of HarhasH2745, keeperH8104 of the wardrobeH899; (now she dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389 in the collegeH4932;) and they communedH1696 with her. {wardrobe: Heb. garments} {in the…: or, in the second part}
And she saidH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, TellH559 the manH376 that sentH7971 you to me,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon this placeH4725, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, even all the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 which the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 hath readH7121:
Because they have forsakenH5800 me, and have burned incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430, that they might provoke me to angerH3707 with all the worksH4639 of their handsH3027; therefore my wrathH2534 shall be kindledH3341 against this placeH4725, and shall not be quenchedH3518.
But to the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 which sentH7971 you to enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068, thus shall ye sayH559 to him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, As touching the wordsH1697 which thou hast heardH8085;
Because thine heartH3824 was tenderH7401, and thou hast humbledH3665 thyself beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, when thou heardestH8085 what I spakeH1696 against this placeH4725, and against the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, that they should become a desolationH8047 and a curseH7045, and hast rentH7167 thy clothesH899, and weptH1058 beforeH6440 me; I also have heardH8085 thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Behold therefore, I will gatherH622 thee unto thy fathersH1, and thou shalt be gatheredH622 into thy graveH6913 in peaceH7965; and thine eyesH5869 shall not seeH7200 all the evilH7451 which I will bringH935 upon this placeH4725. And they broughtH7725 the kingH4428 wordH1697 againH7725.

And he criedH7121 against the altarH4196 in the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and saidH559, O altarH4196, altarH4196, thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, a childH1121 shall be bornH3205 unto the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, JosiahH2977 by nameH8034; and upon thee shall he offerH2076 the priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116 that burn incenseH6999 upon thee, and men'sH120 bonesH6106 shall be burntH8313 upon thee.
JosiahH2977 was eightH8083 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 oneH259 and thirtyH7970 yearsH8141.
ManassehH4519 was twelveH8147+H6240 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and reignedH4427 fiftyH2572 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was HephzibahH2657.
And he didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and walkedH3212 in the waysH1870 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1, and declinedH5493 neither to the right handH3225, nor to the leftH8040.
For in the eighthH8083 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, while he was yet youngH5288, he beganH2490 to seekH1875 after the GodH430 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and in the twelfthH8147+H6240 yearH8141 he beganH2490 to purgeH2891 JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 from the high placesH1116, and the grovesH842, and the carved imagesH6456, and the molten imagesH4541.
And they brake downH5422 the altarsH4196 of BaalimH1168 in his presenceH6440; and the imagesH2553, that were on high above themH4605, he cut downH1438; and the grovesH842, and the carved imagesH6456, and the molten imagesH4541, he brake in piecesH7665, and made dustH1854 of them, and strowedH2236 it uponH6440 the gravesH6913 of them that had sacrificedH2076 unto them. {the images: or, the sun images} {graves: Heb. face of the graves}
And he burntH8313 the bonesH6106 of the priestsH3548 upon their altarsH4196, and cleansedH2891 JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389.
And so did he in the citiesH5892 of ManassehH4519, and EphraimH669, and SimeonH8095, even unto NaphtaliH5321, with their mattocksH2719 round aboutH5439. {mattocks: or, mauls}
And when he had broken downH5422 the altarsH4196 and the grovesH842, and had beatenH3807 the graven imagesH6456 into powderH1854, and cut downH1438 all the idolsH2553 throughout all the landH776 of IsraelH3478, he returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389. {into…: Heb. to make powder}
Now in the eighteenthH8083+H6240 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, when he had purgedH2891 the landH776, and the houseH1004, he sentH7971 ShaphanH8227 the sonH1121 of AzaliahH683, and MaaseiahH4641 the governorH8269 of the cityH5892, and JoahH3098 the sonH1121 of JoahazH3099 the recorderH2142, to repairH2388 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430.
And when they cameH935 to HilkiahH2518 the highH1419 priestH3548, they deliveredH5414 the moneyH3701 that was broughtH935 into the houseH1004 of GodH430, which the LevitesH3881 that keptH8104 the doorsH5592 had gatheredH622 of the handH3027 of ManassehH4519 and EphraimH669, and of all the remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478, and of all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144; and they returnedH7725+H3427 to JerusalemH3389.
And they putH5414 it in the handH3027 of the workmenH6213+H4399 that had the oversightH6485 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and they gaveH5414 it to the workmenH6213+H4399 that wroughtH6213 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, to repairH918 and amendH2388 the houseH1004:
Even to the artificersH2796 and buildersH1129 gaveH5414 they it, to buyH7069 hewnH4274 stoneH68, and timberH6086 for couplingsH4226, and to floorH7136 the housesH1004 which the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 had destroyedH7843. {to floor: or, to rafter}
And the menH582 didH6213 the workH4399 faithfullyH530: and the overseersH5329 of them were JahathH3189 and ObadiahH5662, the LevitesH3881, of the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847; and ZechariahH2148 and MeshullamH4918, of the sons of the KohathitesH6956, to set it forwardH6485; and other of the LevitesH3881, all that could skillH995 of instrumentsH3627 of musickH7892.
Also they were over the bearers of burdensH5449, and were overseersH5329 of all that wroughtH6213 the workH4399 in any manner of serviceH5656: and of the LevitesH3881 there were scribesH5608, and officersH7860, and portersH7778.
And when they brought outH3318 the moneyH3701 that was brought intoH935 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548 foundH4672 a bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 given byH3027 MosesH4872. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And HilkiahH2518 answeredH6030 and saidH559 to ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608, I have foundH4672 the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. And HilkiahH2518 deliveredH5414 the bookH5612 to ShaphanH8227.
And ShaphanH8227 carriedH935 the bookH5612 to the kingH4428, and broughtH7725 the kingH4428 wordH1697 backH7725 again, sayingH559, All that was committedH5414 toH3027 thy servantsH5650, they doH6213 it. {to thy…: Heb. to the hand of, etc}
And they have gathered togetherH5413 the moneyH3701 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and have deliveredH5414 it into the handH3027 of the overseersH6485, and to the handH3027 of the workmenH6213+H4399. {gathered together: Heb. poured out, or, melted}
Then ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608 toldH5046 the kingH4428, sayingH559, HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548 hath givenH5414 me a bookH5612. And ShaphanH8227 readH7121 it beforeH6440 the kingH4428. {it: Heb. in it}
And it came to pass, when the kingH4428 had heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of the lawH8451, that he rentH7167 his clothesH899.
And the kingH4428 commandedH6680 HilkiahH2518, and AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, and AbdonH5658 the sonH1121 of MicahH4318, and ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608, and AsaiahH6222 a servantH5650 of the king'sH4428, sayingH559, {Abdon: or, Achbor}
GoH3212, enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068 for me, and for them that are leftH7604 in IsraelH3478 and in JudahH3063, concerning the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 that is foundH4672: for greatH1419 is the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 that is poured outH5413 upon us, because our fathersH1 have not keptH8104 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 after all that is writtenH3789 in this bookH5612.
And HilkiahH2518, and they that the kingH4428 had appointed, wentH3212 to HuldahH2468 the prophetessH5031, the wifeH802 of ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of TikvathH8616+H8445, the sonH1121 of HasrahH2641, keeperH8104 of the wardrobeH899; (now she dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389 in the collegeH4932:) and they spakeH1696 to her to that effect. {Hasrah: or, Harhas, 2.kings.22.14.} {wardrobe: Heb. garments} {in the college: or, in the school, or, in the second part}
And she answeredH559 them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, TellH559 ye the manH376 that sentH7971 you to me,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon this placeH4725, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, even all the cursesH423 that are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 which they have readH7121 beforeH6440 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063:
Because they have forsakenH5800 me, and have burned incenseH6999+H6999 unto otherH312 godsH430, that they might provoke me to angerH3707 with all the worksH4639 of their handsH3027; therefore my wrathH2534 shall be poured outH5413 upon this placeH4725, and shall not be quenchedH3518.
And as forH413 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, who sentH7971 you to enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068, so shall ye sayH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 concerning the wordsH1697 which thou hast heardH8085;
Because thine heartH3824 was tenderH7401, and thou didst humbleH3665 thyself beforeH6440 GodH430, when thou heardestH8085 his wordsH1697 against this placeH4725, and against the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, and humbledstH3665 thyself beforeH6440 me, and didst rendH7167 thy clothesH899, and weepH1058 beforeH6440 me; I have even heardH8085 thee also, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Behold, I will gatherH622 thee to thy fathersH1, and thou shalt be gatheredH622 to thy graveH6913 in peaceH7965, neither shall thine eyesH5869 seeH7200 all the evilH7451 that I will bringH935 upon this placeH4725, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 of the same. So they broughtH7725 the kingH4428 wordH1697 againH7725.
Then the kingH4428 sentH7971 and gathered togetherH622 all the eldersH2205 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389.
And the kingH4428 went upH5927 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and all the menH376 of JudahH3063, and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, and all the peopleH5971, greatH1419 and smallH6996: and he readH7121 in their earsH241 all the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 of the covenantH1285 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {great…: Heb. from great even to small}
And the kingH4428 stoodH5975 in his placeH5977, and madeH3772 a covenantH1285 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, to walkH3212 afterH310 the LORDH3068, and to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, and his testimoniesH5715, and his statutesH2706, with all his heartH3824, and with all his soulH5315, to performH6213 the wordsH1697 of the covenantH1285 which are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612.
And he caused all that were presentH4672 in JerusalemH3389 and BenjaminH1144 to standH5975 to it. And the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 didH6213 according to the covenantH1285 of GodH430, the GodH430 of their fathersH1. {present: Heb. found}
And JosiahH2977 took awayH5493 all the abominationsH8441 out of all the countriesH776 that pertained to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and made all that were presentH4672 in IsraelH3478 to serveH5647, even to serveH5647 the LORDH3068 their GodH430. And all his daysH3117 they departedH5493 not from followingH310 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1. {present: Heb. found} {from…: Heb. from after}
Out of the mouthH6310 of babesH5768 and sucklingsH3243 hast thou ordainedH3245 strengthH5797 because of thine enemiesH6887, that thou mightest stillH7673 the enemyH341 and the avengerH5358. {ordained: Heb. founded}
To whom the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came in the daysH3117 of JosiahH2977 the sonH1121 of AmonH526 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the thirteenthH7969+H6240 yearH8141 of his reignH4427.
WoeH337 to thee, O landH776, when thy kingH4428 is a childH5288, and thy princesH8269 eatH398 in the morningH1242!
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 which came unto ZephaniahH6846 the sonH1121 of CushiH3570, the sonH1121 of GedaliahH1436, the sonH1121 of AmariahH568, the sonH1121 of HizkiahH2396, in the daysH3117 of JosiahH2977 the sonH1121 of AmonH526, kingH4428 of JudahH3063.
