1 Josiah H2977 was eight H8083 MFS years H8141 NFS old H1121 when he began to reign H4427 , and he reigned H4427 thirty H7970 W-MMP and one H259 years H8141 NFS in Jerusalem H3389 . And his mother H517 GFS-3MS \'s name H8034 W-CMS was Jedidah H3040 , the daughter H1323 of Adaiah H5718 of Boscath H1218 .
2 And he did H6213 W-VQY3MS that which was right H3477 in the sight H5869 B-CMP of the LORD H3068 EDS , and walked H1980 W-VQY3MS in all H3605 B-CMS the way H1870 NMS of David H1732 MMS his father H1 CMS-3MS , and turned not aside H3808 W-NPAR to the right hand H3225 NFS or to the left H8040 .
3 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS in the eighteenth H8083 year H8141 NFS of king H4428 Josiah H2977 , that the king H4428 D-NMS sent H7971 VQQ3MS Shaphan H8227 the son H1121 CMS of Azaliah H683 , the son H1121 CMS of Meshullam H4918 , the scribe H5608 , to the house H1004 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
4 Go up H5927 to H413 PREP Hilkiah H2518 the high H1419 D-AMS priest H3548 , that he may sum H8552 the silver H3701 which is brought H935 into the house H1004 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , which H834 RPRO the keepers H8104 of the door H5592 have gathered H622 of the people H5971 D-NMS :
5 And let them deliver H5414 it into H5921 PREP the hand H3027 CFS of the doers H6213 of the work H4399 , that have the oversight H6485 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 EDS : and let them give H5414 it to the doers H6213 of the work H4399 which H834 RPRO is in the house H1004 B-CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , to repair H2388 the breaches H919 of the house H1004 ,

7 Howbeit H389 ADV there was no H3808 NADV reckoning H2803 made with H854 PREP-3MP them of the money H3701 that was delivered H5414 into H5921 PREP their hand H3027 , because H3588 CONJ they H1992 PPRO-3MP dealt H6213 faithfully H530 .
8 And Hilkiah H2518 the high H1419 D-AMS priest H3548 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H5921 PREP Shaphan H8227 the scribe H5608 , I have found H4672 VQQ1MS the book H5612 CMS of the law H8451 in the house H1004 B-CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS . And Hilkiah H2518 gave H5414 W-VQQ3MS the book H5612 to H413 PREP Shaphan H8227 , and he read H7121 it .
9 And Shaphan H8227 the scribe H5608 came H935 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS , and brought the king word again H7725 W-VHY3MS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Thy servants H5650 have gathered H5413 the money H3701 that was found H4672 in the house H1004 , and have delivered H5414 it into H5921 PREP the hand H3027 CFS of them that do H6213 the work H4399 , that have the oversight H6485 of the house H1004 CMS of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
10 And Shaphan H8227 the scribe H5608 showed H5046 W-VHY3MS the king H4428 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Hilkiah H2518 the priest H3548 hath delivered H5414 VQQ3MS me a book H5612 CMS . And Shaphan H8227 read H7121 it before H6440 L-CMP the king H4428 .
11 And it came to pass H1961 W-VPY3MS , when the king H4428 D-NMS had heard H8085 the words H1697 CMP of the book H5612 CMS of the law H8451 , that he rent H7167 W-VQY3MS his clothes H899 .
12 And the king H4428 D-NMS commanded H6680 W-VPY3MS Hilkiah H2518 the priest H3548 , and Ahikam H296 the son H1121 of Shaphan H8227 , and Achbor H5907 the son H1121 of Michaiah H4320 , and Shaphan H8227 the scribe H5608 , and Asahiah H6222 a servant H5650 of the king H4428 D-NMS \'s , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
13 Go H1980 VQI2MP ye , inquire H1875 of the LORD H3068 EDS for H1157 W-PREP me , and for H1157 W-PREP the people H5971 , and for H1157 W-PREP all H3605 NMS Judah H3063 , concerning H5921 PREP the words H1697 CMP of this H2088 D-PMS book H5612 that is found H4672 : for H3588 CONJ great H1419 AFS is the wrath H2534 of the LORD H3068 EDS that H834 RPRO is kindled H3341 against us , because H5921 PREP our fathers H1 have not H3808 ADV hearkened H8085 VQQ3MP unto H5921 PREP the words H1697 CMP of this H2088 D-PMS book H5612 , to do H6213 L-VQFC according unto all H3605 NMS that which is written H3789 concerning H5921 PREP us .
14 So Hilkiah H2518 the priest H3548 , and Ahikam H296 , and Achbor H5907 , and Shaphan H8227 , and Asahiah H6222 , went H1980 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Huldah H2468 the prophetess H5031 , the wife H802 CFS of Shallum H7967 the son H1121 of Tikvah H8616 , the son H1121 of Harhas H2745 , keeper H8104 of the wardrobe H899 ; (now she H1931 dwelt H3427 in Jerusalem H3389 in the college H4932 ; ) and they communed H1696 with H413 PREP her .
15 And she said H559 W-VQY3FS unto H413 PREP-3MP them , Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 , Tell H559 the man H376 LD-NMS that H834 RPRO sent H7971 VQQ3MS you to H413 me ,
16 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , Behold H2009 , I will bring H935 VHPMS evil H7451 AFS upon H413 PREP this H2088 D-PMS place H4725 D-NMS , and upon H5921 W-PREP the inhabitants H3427 thereof , even all H3605 NMS the words H1697 CMP of the book H5612 which H834 RPRO the king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 hath read H7121 VQQ3MS :
17 Because H8478 NMS they have forsaken H5800 me , and have burned incense H6999 unto other H312 AMP gods H430 , that H4616 L-CONJ they might provoke me to anger H3707 with all H3605 the works H4639 M-CMS of their hands H3027 CFD-3MP ; therefore my wrath H2534 shall be kindled H3341 against this H2088 D-PMS place H4725 , and shall not H3808 W-NPAR be quenched H3518 .
18 But to H413 W-PREP the king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 which sent H7971 you to inquire H1875 L-VQFC of the LORD H3068 EDS , thus H3541 shall ye say H559 VQY2MP to H413 PREP-3MS him , Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 , As touching the words H1697 AMP which H834 RPRO thou hast heard H8085 ;
19 Because H3282 ADV thine heart H3824 was tender H7401 , and thou hast humbled thyself H3665 before H6440 M-CMP the LORD H3068 EDS , when thou heardest H8085 VQQ1MS what H834 RPRO I spoke H1696 VPQ1MS against H5921 PREP this H2088 D-PMS place H4725 D-NMS , and against H5921 PREP the inhabitants H3427 thereof , that they should become H1961 a desolation H8047 and a curse H7045 , and hast rent H7167 thy clothes H899 CMP-2MS , and wept H1058 before H6440 me ; I H595 PPRO-1MS also H1571 W-CONJ have heard H8085 VQQ1MS thee , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
20 Behold H2009 therefore H3651 L-ADV , I will gather H622 thee unto H5921 PREP thy fathers H1 , and thou shalt be gathered H622 into H413 PREP thy grave H6913 in peace H7965 ; and thine eyes H5869 CMD-2MS shall not H3808 W-NPAR see H7200 all H3605 the evil H7451 D-AFS which H834 RPRO I H589 PPRO-1MS will bring H935 VHPMS upon H5921 PREP this H2088 D-PMS place H4725 D-NMS . And they brought H7725 the king H4428 D-NMS word H1697 again .
