1 Jr 3.6Josiahwas eight years old when he became king of Judah, and he ruled in Jerusalemfor thirty-one years. His mother was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiahfrom the town of Bozkath. 2 Josiah did what was pleasing to the Lord; he followed the example of his ancestor King David, strictly obeying all the laws of God.
3 In the eighteenth year of his reign, King Josiahsent the court secretary Shaphan, the son of Azaliahand grandson of Meshullam, to the Temple with the order: 4 "Go to the High Priest Hilkiahand get a report on the amount of money that the priests on duty at the entrance to the Temple have collected from the people. 5 Tell him to give the money to the men who are in charge of the repairs in the Temple. They are to pay 6 the carpenters, the builders, and the masons, and buy the timber and the stones used in the repairs. 7 2 K 12.15The men in charge of the work are thoroughly honest, so there is no need to require them to account for the funds."
8 Shaphandelivered the king’s order to Hilkiah, and Hilkiahtold him that he had found the book of the Law in the Temple. Hilkiahgave him the book, and Shaphanread it. 9 Then he went back to the king and reported: "Your servants have taken the money that was in the Temple and have handed it over to the men in charge of the repairs." 10 And then he said, "I have here a book that Hilkiahgave me." And he read it aloud to the king.
11 When the king heard the book being read, he tore his clothes in dismay, 12 and gave the following order to Hilkiahthe priest, to Ahikamson of Shaphan, to Achborson of Micaiah, to Shaphan, the court secretary, and to Asaiah, the king’s attendant: 13 "Go and consult the Lordfor me and for all the people of Judah about the teachings of this book. The Lordis angry with us because our ancestors have not done what this book says must be done."
14 Hilkiah, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiahwent to consult a woman named Huldah, a prophet who lived in the newer part of Jerusalem. (Her husband Shallum, the son of Tikvahand grandson of Harhas, was in charge of the Temple robes.) They described to her what had happened, 15 and she told them to go back to the king and give him 16 the following message from the Lord: "I am going to punish Jerusalem and all its people, as written in the book that the king has read. 17 They have rejected me and have offered sacrifices to other gods, and so have stirred up my anger by all they have done. My anger is aroused against Jerusalem, and it will not die down. 18 As for the king himself, this is what I, the LordGod of Israel, say: You listened to what is written in the book, 19 and you repented and humbled yourself before me, tearing your clothes and weeping, when you heard how I threatened to punish Jerusalem and its people. I will make it a terrifying sight, a place whose name people will use as a curse. But I have heard your prayer, 20 and the punishment which I am going to bring on Jerusalem will not come until after your death. I will let you die in peace."
The men returned to King Josiah with this message.
