And Shaphanread from it in the presence of the king.

22 So Hilkiah and those34:22 As in LXX; MT who were the king’s menwhom the king had told went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of 34:22 In 2 Kin 22:14, Tikvah, son of HarhasTokhath, the son of Hasrah, the keeper of the wardrobe (she lived in Jerusalemin the Second Quarter); and they spoke to her regarding this. 23 Then she said to them, "This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says: ‘Tell the man who sent you to Me, 24 this is what the Lord says: "Behold, I am bringing 34:24 Or disasterevil on this place and on its inhabitants, all the curses written in the book which they have read in the presence of the king of Judah. 25 Since they have abandoned Me and have burned incense to other gods, so that they may provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands, My wrath will be poured out on this place and it will not be quenched." ’ 26 But to the king of Judah who sent you to inquire of the Lord, this is what you shall say to him: ‘This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says: In regard to the words which you have heard, 27 "Because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before God when you heard His words against this place and its inhabitants, and because you humbled yourself before Me, tore your clothes, and wept before Me, I have indeed heard you," declares the Lord. 28 "Behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace, so your eyes will not see all the evil which I am bringing on this place and its inhabitants." ’ " And they brought back word to the king.
29 Then the king sent word and gathered all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem. 30 The king went up to the house of the Lord34:30 Lit andwith all the men of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the priests, the Levites, and all the people, from the greatest to the least; and he read in their 34:30 Lit earspresence all the words of the Book of the Covenant which was found in the house of the Lord.
