1 Jr 3.6.Josiahwas 8 years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled 31 years from Jerusalem. His mother Jedidahwas the daughter of Adaiahfrom Bozkath. 2 Josiah always obeyed the Lord, just as his ancestor Davidhad done.
3 After Josiahhad been king for 18 years, he told Shaphan,22.3 Shaphan: Hebrew "Shaphan son of Azaliah son of Meshullam."one of his highest officials:
Go to the Lord's temple 4 and ask Hilkiahthe high priest to collect from the guards all the money that the people have donated. 5 Tell Hilkiah to give it to the men supervising the repairs to the temple. They can use some of the money to pay 6 the workers, and with the rest of it they can buy wood and stone for the repair work. 7 2 K 12.15.They are honest, so we won’t ask them to keep track of the money.
8 While Shaphanwas at the temple, Hilkiahhanded him a book and said, "Look what I found here in the temple—The Book of God’s Law."
Shaphanread it, 9 then went back to Josiah and reported, "Your officials collected the money in the temple and gave it to the men supervising the repairs. 10 But there’s something else, Your Majesty. The priest Hilkiahgave me this book." Then Shaphanread it out loud.
11 When Josiah heard what was in The Book of God’s Law, he tore his clothes in sorrow. 12 At once he called together Hilkiah, Shaphan, Ahikamson of Shaphan, Achborson of Micaiah, and his own servant Asaiah. He said, 13 "The Lordmust be furious with me and everyone else in Judah, because our ancestors did not obey the laws written in this book. Go find out what the Lordwants us to do."
14 The five men left at once and went to talk with Huldahthe prophet. Her husband was Shallum,22.14 Shallum: Hebrew "Shallum son of Tikvah son of Harhas."who was in charge of the king’s clothes. Huldahlived in the northern part of Jerusalem, and when they met in her home, 15 she said:
You were sent here by King Josiah, and this is what the LordGod of Israel says to him: 16 "Josiah, I am the Lord! And I will see to it that this country and everyone living in it will be destroyed. It will happen just as this book says. 17 The people of Judah have rejected me. They have offered sacrifices to foreign gods and have worshiped their own idols. I cannot stand it any longer. I am furious.
18 "Josiah, listen to what I am going to do. 19 I noticed how sad you were when you read that this country and its people would be completely wiped out. You even tore your clothes in sorrow, and I heard you cry. 20 So I will let you die in peace, before I destroy this place."
The men left and took Huldah’s answer back to Josiah.
