H2977
Josiah
H8083
was eight
H8141
years
H1121
old
H4427 [H8800]
when he began to reign,
H4427 [H8804]
and he reigned
H3389
in Jerusalem
H259
one
H7970
and thirty
H8141
years.
2
H6213 [H8799]
And he did
H3477
that which was right
H5869
in the eyes
H3068
of the LORD,
H3212 [H8799]
and walked
H1870
in the ways
H1732
of David
H1
his father,
H5493 [H8804]
and declined
H3225
neither to the right hand,
H8040
nor to the left.
3
H8083
For in the eighth
H8141
year
H4427 [H8800]
of his reign,
H5288
while he was yet young,
H2490 [H8689]
he began
H1875 [H8800]
to seek
H430
after the God
H1732
of David
H1
his father:
H8147 H6240
and in the twelfth
H8141
year
H2490 [H8689]
he began
H2891 [H8763]
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 [H8762]
And they broke down
H4196
the altars
H1168
of Baalim
H6440
in his face;
H2553
and the images,
H4605
that were on high above them,
H1438 [H8765]
he cut down;
H842
and the groves,
H6456
and the carved images,
H4541
and the molten images,
H7665 [H8765]
he broke in pieces,
H1854 [H8689]
and made dust
H2236 [H8799]
of them, and scattered
H6440
it upon
H6913
the burying-places
H2076 [H8802]
of them that had sacrificed to them.
5
H8313 [H8804]
And he burnt
H6106
the bones
H3548
of the priests
H4196
upon their altars,
H2891 [H8762]
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 to Naphtali,
H5439
with their surrounding
H2719
ruins.
7
H5422 [H8762]
And when he had broken down
H4196
the altars
H842
and the groves,
H3807 [H8765]
and had beaten
H6456
the graven images
H1854 [H8687]
into powder,
H1438 [H8765]
and cut down
H2553
all the idols
H776
throughout all the land
H3478
of Israel,
H7725 [H8799]
he returned
H3389
to Jerusalem.
8
H8083 H6240
Now in the eighteenth
H8141
year
H4427 [H8800]
of his reign,
H2891 [H8763]
when he had purged
H776
the land,
H1004
and the house,
H7971 [H8804]
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 [H8688]
the recorder,
H2388 [H8763]
to repair
H1004
the house
H3068
of the LORD
H430
his God.
9
H935 [H8799]
And when they came
H2518
to Hilkiah
H1419
the high
H3548
priest,
H5414 [H8799]
they gave
H3701
the money
H935 [H8716]
that was brought
H1004
into the house
H430
of God,
H3881
which the Levites
H8104 [H8802]
that kept
H5592
the doors
H622 [H8804]
had assembled
H3027
from the hand
H4519
of Manasseh
H669
and Ephraim,
H7611
and from all the remnant
H3478
of Israel,
H3063
and from all Judah
H1144
and Benjamin;
H7725 H3427 [H8799]
and they returned
H3389
to Jerusalem.
10
H5414 [H8799]
And they put
H3027
it in the hand
H6213 H4399 [H8802]
of the workmen
H6485 [H8716]
that had the oversight
H1004
of the house
H3068
of the LORD,
H5414 [H8799]
and they gave
H6213 H4399 [H8802]
it to the workmen
H6213 [H8802]
that wrought
H1004
in the house
H3068
of the LORD,
H918 [H8800]
to repair
H2388 [H8763]
and restore
H1004
the house:
11
H2796
Even to the craftsmen
H1129 [H8802]
and builders
H5414 [H8799]
they gave
H7069 [H8800]
it, to buy
H4274
hewn
H68
stone,
H6086
and timber
H4226
for couplings,
H7136 [H8763]
and to floor
H1004
the houses
H4428
which the kings
H3063
of Judah
H7843 [H8689]
had decayed.
12
H582
And the men
H6213 [H8802]
did
H4399
the work
H530
faithfully:
H5329 [H8763]
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 [H8716]
to oversee
H3881
it; and others of the Levites,
H995 [H8688]
all that had skill
H3627
in instruments
H7892
of music.
13
H5449
Also they were over the bearers of burdens,
H5329 [H8764]
and were overseers
H6213 [H8802]
of all that wrought
H4399
the work
H5656
in any manner of service:
H3881
and of the Levites
H5608 [H8802]
there were scribes,
H7860 [H8802]
and officers,
H7778
and porters.
14
H3318 [H8687]
And when they brought out
H3701
the money
H935 [H8716]
that was brought into
H1004
the house
H3068
of the LORD,
H2518
Hilkiah
H3548
the priest
H4672 [H8804]
found
H5612
the book
H8451
of the law
H3068
of the LORD
H3027
given by
H4872
Moses.
15
H2518
And Hilkiah
H6030 [H8799]
answered
H559 [H8799]
and said
H8227
to Shaphan
H5608 [H8802]
the scribe,
H4672 [H8804]
I have found
H5612
the book
H8451
of the law
H1004
in the house
H3068
of the LORD.
H2518
And Hilkiah
H5414 [H8799]
gave
H5612
the book
H8227
to Shaphan.
16
H8227
And Shaphan
H935 [H8686]
carried
H5612
the book
H4428
to the king,
H7725 0
and brought
H4428
the king
H1697
word
H7725 [H8686]
back
H559 [H8800]
again, saying,
H5414 [H8738]
All that was committed
H3027
to
H5650
thy servants,
H6213 [H8802]
they are doing.
17
H5413 [H8686]
And they have gathered
H3701
the money
H4672 [H8737]
that was found
H1004
in the house
H3068
of the LORD,
H5414 [H8799]
and have given
H3027
it into the hand
H6485 [H8716]
of the overseers,
H3027
and to the hand
H6213 H4399 [H8802]
of the workmen.
18
H8227
Then Shaphan
H5608 [H8802]
the scribe
H5046 [H8686]
told
H4428
the king,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H2518
Hilkiah
H3548
the priest
H5414 [H8804]
hath given
H5612
me a book.
H8227
And Shaphan
H7121 [H8799]
read
H6440
it at the face of
H4428
the king.
19
H4428
And it came to pass, when the king
H8085 [H8800]
had heard
H1697
the words
H8451
of the law,
H7167 [H8799]
that he tore
H899
his clothes.
20
H4428
And the king
H6680 [H8762]
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 [H8802]
the scribe,
H6222
and Asaiah
H5650
a servant
H4428
of the king's,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
21
H3212 [H8798]
Go,
H1875 [H8798]
enquire
H3068
of the LORD
H7604 [H8737]
for me, and for them that are left
H3478
in Israel
H3063
and in Judah,
H1697
concerning the words
H5612
of the book
H4672 [H8738]
that is found:
H1419
for great
H2534
is the hot anger
H3068
of the LORD
H5413 [H8738]
that is poured out
H1
upon us, because our fathers
H8104 [H8804]
have not kept
H1697
the word
H3068
of the LORD,
H6213 [H8800]
to do
H3789 [H8803]
after all that is written
H5612
in this book.
22
H2518
And Hilkiah,
H4428
and they that the king
H3212 [H8799]
had appointed, went
H2468
to Huldah
H5031
the prophetess,
H802
the wife
H7967
of Shallum
H1121
the son
H8616 H8445 [H8676]
of Tikvath,
H1121
the son
H2641
of Hasrah,
H8104 [H8802]
keeper
H899
of the wardrobe;
H3427 [H8802]
(now she dwelt
H3389
in Jerusalem
H4932
in the Second Quarter:
H1696 [H8762]
) and they spoke to her to that effect.
23
H559 [H8799]
And she answered
H559 [H8804]
them, Thus saith
H3068
the LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel,
H559 [H8798]
Tell
H376
ye the man
H7971 [H8804]
that sent you to me,
24
H559 [H8804]
Thus saith
H3068
the LORD,
H935 [H8688]
Behold, I will bring
H7451
evil
H4725
upon this place,
H3427 [H8802]
and upon its inhabitants,
H423
even all the curses
H3789 [H8803]
that are written
H5612
in the book
H7121 [H8804]
which they have read
H6440
at the face of
H4428
the king
H3063
of Judah:
25
H5800 [H8804]
Because they have forsaken
H6999 H6999 [H8762]
me, and have burned incense
H312
to other
H430
gods,
H3707 [H8687]
that they might provoke me to anger
H4639
with all the works
H3027
of their hands;
H2534
therefore my hot anger
H5413 [H8799]
shall be poured out
H4725
upon this place,
H3518 [H8799]
and shall not be quenched.
26
H413
And as for
H4428
the king
H3063
of Judah,
H7971 [H8802]
who sent
H1875 [H8800]
you to enquire
H3068
of the LORD,
H559 [H8799]
so shall ye say
H559 [H8804]
to him, Thus saith
H3068
the LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H1697
concerning the words
H8085 [H8804]
which thou hast heard;
27
H3824
Because thy heart
H7401 [H8804]
was tender,
H3665 [H8735]
and thou didst humble
H6440
thyself at the face of
H430
God,
H8085 [H8800]
when thou didst hear
H1697
his words
H4725
against this place,
H3427 [H8802]
and against its inhabitants,
H3665 [H8735]
and didst humble
H6440
thyself at the face of
H7167 [H8799]
me, and didst rend
H899
thy clothes,
H1058 [H8799]
and weep
H6440
at the face of
H8085 [H8804]
me; I have even heard
H5002 [H8803]
thee also, saith
H3068
the LORD.
28
H622 [H8802]
Behold, I will gather
H1
thee to thy fathers,
H622 [H8738]
and thou shalt be gathered
H6913
to thy burying-place
H7965
in peace,
H5869
neither shall thine eyes
H7200 [H8799]
see
H7451
all the evil
H935 [H8688]
that I will bring
H4725
upon this place,
H3427 [H8802]
and upon the inhabitants
H7725 0
of the same. So they brought
H4428
the king
H1697
word
H7725 [H8686]
again.
29
H4428
Then the king
H7971 [H8799]
sent
H622 [H8799]
and gathered
H2205
all the elders
H3063
of Judah
H3389
and Jerusalem.
30
H4428
And the king
H5927 [H8799]
went
H1004
into the house
H3068
of the LORD,
H376
and all the men
H3063
of Judah,
H3427 [H8802]
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 [H8799]
and he read
H241
in their hearing
H1697
all the words
H5612
of the book
H1285
of the covenant
H4672 [H8737]
that was found
H1004
in the house
H3068
of the LORD.
31
H4428
And the king
H5975 [H8799]
stood
H5977
in his place,
H3772 [H8799]
and made
H1285
a covenant
H6440
at the face of
H3068
the LORD,
H3212 [H8800]
to walk
H310
after
H3068
the LORD,
H8104 [H8800]
and to keep
H4687
his commandments,
H5715
and his testimonies,
H2706
and his statutes,
H3824
with all his heart,
H5315
and with all his breath,
H6213 [H8800]
to perform
H1697
the words
H1285
of the covenant
H3789 [H8803]
which are written
H5612
in this book.
32
H4672 [H8737]
And he caused all that were present
H3389
in Jerusalem
H1144
and Benjamin
H5975 [H8686]
to stand
H3427 [H8802]
to it. And the inhabitants
H3389
of Jerusalem
H6213 [H8799]
did
H1285
according to the covenant
H430
of God,
H430
the God
H1
of their fathers.
33
H2977
And Josiah
H5493 [H8686]
took away
H8441
all the abominations
H776
out of all the lands
H1121
that pertained to the sons
H3478
of Israel,
H4672 [H8737]
and made all that were present
H3478
in Israel
H5647 [H8686]
to serve,
H5647 [H8800]
even to serve
H3068
the LORD
H430
their God.
H3117
And all his days
H5493 [H8804]
they departed
H310
not from following
H3068
the LORD,
H430
the God
H1
of their fathers.
