H2977
Josiah
H8083
was eight
H8141
years
H1121
old
H4427
when he began to reign,
H4427
and he reigned
H3389
in Jerusalem
H259
one
H7970
and thirty
H8141
years.
2
H6213
And he did
H3477
that which was right
H5869
in the sight
H3068
of the Lord,
H3212
and walked
H1870
in the ways
H1732
of David
H1
his father,
H5493
and declined
H3225
neither to the right hand,
H8040
nor to the left.
3
H8083
For in the eighth
H8141
year
H4427
of his reign,
H5288
while he was yet young,
H2490
he began
H1875
to seek
H430
after the God
H1732
of David
H1
his father:
H8147
and in the twelfth
H8141
year
H2490
he began
H2891
to purge
H3063
Judah
H3389
and Jerusalem
H1116
from the high places,
H842
and the groves,
H6456
and the carved images,
H4541
and the molten images.
4
H5422
And they broke down
H4196
the altars
H1168
of Baalim
H6440
in his presence;
H2553
and the images,
H4605
that were on high above them,
H1438
he cut down;
H842
and the groves,
H6456
and the carved images,
H4541
and the molten images,
H7665
he broke in pieces,
H1854
and made dust
H2236
of them, and strewed
H6440
it upon
H6913
the graves
H2076
of them that had sacrificed unto them.
5
H8313
And he burnt
H6106
the bones
H3548
of the priests
H4196
upon their altars,
H2891
and cleansed
H3063
Judah
H3389
and Jerusalem.
6
H5892
And so did he in the cities
H4519
of Manasseh,
H669
and Ephraim,
H8095
and Simeon,
H5321
even unto Naphtali,
H2719
with their mattocks
H5439
round about.
7
H5422
And when he had broken down
H4196
the altars
H842
and the groves,
H3807
and had beaten
H6456
the engraved images
H1854
into powder,
H1438
and cut down
H2553
all the idols
H776
throughout all the land
H3478
of Israel,
H7725
he returned
H3389
to Jerusalem.
8
H8083
Now in the eighteenth
H8141
year
H4427
of his reign,
H2891
when he had purged
H776
the land,
H1004
and the house,
H7971
he sent
H8227
Shaphan
H1121
the son
H683
of Azaliah,
H4641
and Maaseiah
H8269
the governor
H5892
of the city,
H3098
and Joah
H1121
the son
H3099
of Joahaz
H2142
the recorder,
H2388
to repair
H1004
the house
H3068
of the Lord
H430
his God.
9
H935
And when they came
H2518
to Hilkiah
H1419
the high
H3548
priest,
H5414
they delivered
H3701
the money
H935
that was brought
H1004
into the house
H430
of God,
H3881
which the Levites
H8104
that kept
H5592
the doors
H622
had gathered
H3027
of the hand
H4519
of Manasseh
H669
and Ephraim,
H7611
and of all the remnant
H3478
of Israel,
H3063
and of all Judah
H1144
and Benjamin;
H7725
and they returned
H3389
to Jerusalem.
10
H5414
And they put
H3027
it in the hand
H6213
of the workmen
H6485
that had the oversight
H1004
of the house
H3068
of the Lord,
H5414
and they gave
H6213
it to the workmen
H6213
that worked
H1004
in the house
H3068
of the Lord,
H918
to repair
H2388
and mend
H1004
the house:
11
H2796
Even to the artificers
H1129
and builders
H5414
gave
H7069
they it, to buy
H4274
cut
H68
stone,
H6086
and timber
H4226
for couplings,
H7136
and to floor
H1004
the houses
H4428
which the kings
H3063
of Judah
H7843
had destroyed.
12
H582
And the men
H6213
did
H4399
the work
H530
faithfully:
H5329
and the overseers
H3189
of them were Jahath
H5662
and Obadiah,
H3881
the Levites,
H1121
of the sons
H4847
of Merari;
H2148
and Zechariah
H4918
and Meshullam,
H6956
of the sons of the Kohathites,
H6485
to set it forward;
H3881
and other of the Levites,
H995
all that could skill
H3627
of instruments
H7892
of music.
13
H5449
Also they were over the bearers of burdens,
H5329
and were overseers
H6213
of all that worked
H4399
the work
H5656
in any manner of service:
H3881
and of the Levites
H5608
there were scribes,
H7860
and officers,
H7778
and porters.
14
H3318
And when they brought out
H3701
the money
H935
that was brought into
H1004
the house
H3068
of the Lord,
H2518
Hilkiah
H3548
the priest
H4672
found
H5612
a book
H8451
of the law
H3068
of the Lord
H3027
given by
H4872
Moses.
15
H2518
And Hilkiah
H6030
answered
H559
and said
H8227
to Shaphan
H5608
the scribe,
H4672
I have found
H5612
the book
H8451
of the law
H1004
in the house
H3068
of the Lord.
H2518
And Hilkiah
H5414
delivered
H5612
the book
H8227
to Shaphan.
16
H8227
And Shaphan
H935
carried
H5612
the book
H4428
to the king,
H7725
and brought
H4428
the king
H1697
word
H7725
back
H559
again, saying,
H5414
All that was committed
H3027
to
H5650
your servants,
H6213
they do it.
17
H5413
And they have gathered together
H3701
the money
H4672
that was found
H1004
in the house
H3068
of the Lord,
H5414
and have delivered
H3027
it into the hand
H6485
of the overseers,
H3027
and to the hand
H6213
of the workmen.
18
H8227
Then Shaphan
H5608
the scribe
H5046
told
H4428
the king,
H559
saying,
H2518
Hilkiah
H3548
the priest
H5414
has given
H5612
me a book.
H8227
And Shaphan
H7121
read
H6440
it before
H4428
the king.
19
H4428
And it came to pass, when the king
H8085
had heard
H1697
the words
H8451
of the law,
H7167
that he tore
H899
his clothes.
20
H4428
And the king
H6680
commanded
H2518
Hilkiah,
H296
and Ahikam
H1121
the son
H8227
of Shaphan,
H5658
and Abdon
H1121
the son
H4318
of Micah,
H8227
and Shaphan
H5608
the scribe,
H6222
and Asaiah
H5650
a servant
H4428
of the king's,
H559
saying,
21
H3212
Go,
H1875
inquire
H3068
of the Lord
H7604
for me, and for them that are left
H3478
in Israel
H3063
and in Judah,
H1697
concerning the words
H5612
of the book
H4672
that is found:
H1419
for great
H2534
is the wrath
H3068
of the Lord
H5413
that is poured out
H1
upon us, because our fathers
H8104
have not kept
H1697
the word
H3068
of the Lord,
H6213
to do
H3789
after all that is written
H5612
in this book.
22
H2518
And Hilkiah,
H4428
and they that the king
H3212
had appointed, went
H2468
to Huldah
H5031
the prophetess,
H802
the wife
H7967
of Shallum
H1121
the son
H8616
of Tikvath,
H1121
the son
H2641
of Hasrah,
H8104
keeper
H899
of the wardrobe;
H3427
(now she lived
H3389
in Jerusalem
H4932
in the college:)
H1696
and they spoke to her to that effect.
23
H559
And she answered
H559
them, Thus says
H3068
the Lord
H430
God
H3478
of Israel,
H559
Tell
H376
you the man
H7971
that sent you to me,
24
H559
Thus says
H3068
the Lord,
H935
Behold, I will bring
H7451
evil
H4725
upon this place,
H3427
and upon the inhabitants
H423
there, even all the curses
H3789
that are written
H5612
in the book
H7121
which they have read
H6440
before
H4428
the king
H3063
of Judah:
25
H5800
Because they have forsaken
H6999
me, and have burned incense
H312
unto other
H430
gods,
H3707
that they might provoke me to anger
H4639
with all the works
H3027
of their hands;
H2534
therefore my wrath
H5413
shall be poured out
H4725
upon this place,
H3518
and shall not be quenched.
26
H413
And as for
H4428
the king
H3063
of Judah,
H7971
who sent
H1875
you to inquire
H3068
of the Lord,
H559
so shall you say
H559
unto him, Thus says
H3068
the Lord
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H1697
concerning the words
H8085
which you have heard;
27
H3824
Because your heart
H7401
was tender,
H3665
and you did humble
H6440
yourself before
H430
God,
H8085
when you heard
H1697
his words
H4725
against this place,
H3427
and against the inhabitants
H3665
there, and humbled
H6440
yourself before
H7167
me, and did tear
H899
your clothes,
H1058
and weep
H6440
before
H8085
me; I have even heard
H5002
you also, says
H3068
the Lord.
28
H622
Behold, I will gather
H1
you to your fathers,
H622
and you shall be gathered
H6913
to your grave
H7965
in peace,
H5869
neither shall your eyes
H7200
see
H7451
all the evil
H935
that I will bring
H4725
upon this place,
H3427
and upon the inhabitants
H7725
of the same. So they brought
H4428
the king
H1697
word
H7725
again.
29
H4428
Then the king
H7971
sent
H622
and gathered together
H2205
all the elders
H3063
of Judah
H3389
and Jerusalem.
30
H4428
And the king
H5927
went up
H1004
into the house
H3068
of the Lord,
H376
and all the men
H3063
of Judah,
H3427
and the inhabitants
H3389
of Jerusalem,
H3548
and the priests,
H3881
and the Levites,
H5971
and all the people,
H1419
great
H6996
and small:
H7121
and he read
H241
in their ears
H1697
all the words
H5612
of the book
H1285
of the covenant
H4672
that was found
H1004
in the house
H3068
of the Lord.
31
H4428
And the king
H5975
stood
H5977
in his place,
H3772
and made
H1285
a covenant
H6440
before
H3068
the Lord,
H3212
to walk
H310
after
H3068
the Lord,
H8104
and to keep
H4687
his commandments,
H5715
and his testimonies,
H2706
and his statutes,
H3824
with all his heart,
H5315
and with all his soul,
H6213
to perform
H1697
the words
H1285
of the covenant
H3789
which are written
H5612
in this book.
32
H4672
And he caused all that were present
H3389
in Jerusalem
H1144
and Benjamin
H5975
to stand
H3427
to it. And the inhabitants
H3389
of Jerusalem
H6213
did
H1285
according to the covenant
H430
of God,
H430
the God
H1
of their fathers.
33
H2977
And Josiah
H5493
took away
H8441
all the abominations
H776
out of all the countries
H1121
that pertained to the sons
H3478
of Israel,
H4672
and made all that were present
H3478
in Israel
H5647
to serve,
H5647
even to serve
H3068
the Lord
H430
their God.
H3117
And all his days
H5493
they departed
H310
not from following
H3068
the Lord,
H430
the God
H1
of their fathers.
