1
Josiah [2977] [was] eight [8083] years [8141] old [1121] when he began to reign, [4427] and he reigned [4427] in Jerusalem [3389] one [0259] and thirty [7970] years. [8141]
2
And he did [6213] [that which was] right [3477] in the sight [5869] of the LORD, [3068] and walked [3212] in the ways [1870] of David [1732] his father, [0001] and declined [5493] [neither] to the right hand, [3225] nor to the left. [8040]
3
For in the eighth [8083] year [8141] of his reign, [4427] while he was yet young, [5288] he began [2490] to seek [1875] after the God [0430] of David [1732] his father: [0001] and in the twelfth [8147] [6240] year [8141] he began [2490] to purge [2891] Judah [3063] and Jerusalem [3389] from the high places, [1116] and the groves, [0842] and the carved images, [6456] and the molten images. [4541]
4
And they brake down [5422] the altars [4196] of Baalim [1168] in his presence; [6440] and the images, [2553] that [were] on high above them, [4605] he cut down; [1438] and the groves, [0842] and the carved images, [6456] and the molten images, [4541] he brake in pieces, [7665] and made dust [1854] [of them], and strowed [2236] [it] upon [6440] the graves [6913] of them that had sacrificed [2076] unto them.
5
And he burnt [8313] the bones [6106] of the priests [3548] upon their altars, [4196] and cleansed [2891] Judah [3063] and Jerusalem. [3389]
6
And [so did he] in the cities [5892] of Manasseh, [4519] and Ephraim, [0669] and Simeon, [8095] even unto Naphtali, [5321] with their mattocks [2719] round about. [5439]
7
And when he had broken down [5422] the altars [4196] and the groves, [0842] and had beaten [3807] the graven images [6456] into powder, [1854] and cut down [1438] all the idols [2553] throughout all the land [0776] of Israel, [3478] he returned [7725] to Jerusalem. [3389]
8
Now in the eighteenth [8083] [6240] year [8141] of his reign, [4427] when he had purged [2891] the land, [0776] and the house, [1004] he sent [7971] Shaphan [8227] the son [1121] of Azaliah, [0683] and Maaseiah [4641] the governor [8269] of the city, [5892] and Joah [3098] the son [1121] of Joahaz [3099] the recorder, [2142] to repair [2388] the house [1004] of the LORD [3068] his God. [0430]
9
And when they came [0935] to Hilkiah [2518] the high [1419] priest, [3548] they delivered [5414] the money [3701] that was brought into [0935] the house [1004] of God, [0430] which the Levites [3881] that kept [8104] the doors [5592] had gathered [0622] of the hand [3027] of Manasseh [4519] and Ephraim, [0669] and of all the remnant [7611] of Israel, [3478] and of all Judah [3063] and Benjamin; [1144] and they returned [7725] to Jerusalem. [3389]
10
And they put [5414] [it] in the hand [3027] of the workmen [6213] [4399] that had the oversight [6485] of the house [1004] of the LORD, [3068] and they gave [5414] it to the workmen [6213] [4399] that wrought [6213] in the house [1004] of the LORD, [3068] to repair [0918] and amend [2388] the house: [1004]
11
Even to the artificers [2796] and builders [1129] gave [5414] they [it], to buy [7069] hewn [4274] stone, [0068] and timber [6086] for couplings, [4226] and to floor [7136] the houses [1004] which the kings [4428] of Judah [3063] had destroyed. [7843]
12
And the men [0582] did [6213] the work [4399] faithfully: [0530] and the overseers [6485] of them [were] Jahath [3189] and Obadiah, [5662] the Levites, [3881] of the sons [1121] of Merari; [4847] and Zechariah [2148] and Meshullam, [4918] of the sons [1121] of the Kohathites, [6956] to set [it] forward; [5329] and [other of] the Levites, [3881] all that could skill [0995] of instruments [3627] of musick. [7892]
13
Also [they were] over the bearers of burdens, [5449] and [were] overseers [5329] of all that wrought [6213] the work [4399] in any manner of service: [5656] [5656] and of the Levites [3881] [there were] scribes, [5608] and officers, [7860] and porters. [7778]
14
And when they brought out [3318] the money [3701] that was brought into [0935] the house [1004] of the LORD, [3068] Hilkiah [2518] the priest [3548] found [4672] a book [5612] of the law [8451] of the LORD [3068] [given] by [3027] Moses. [4872]
15
And Hilkiah [2518] answered [6030] and said [0559] to Shaphan [8227] the scribe, [5608] I have found [4672] the book [5612] of the law [8451] in the house [1004] of the LORD. [3068] And Hilkiah [2518] delivered [5414] the book [5612] to Shaphan. [8227]
16
And Shaphan [8227] carried [0935] the book [5612] to the king, [4428] and brought the king [4428] word [1697] back again, [7725] saying, [0559] All that was committed [5414] to [3027] thy servants, [5650] they do [6213] [it].
17
And they have gathered together [5413] the money [3701] that was found [4672] in the house [1004] of the LORD, [3068] and have delivered [5414] it into the hand [3027] of the overseers, [6485] and to the hand [3027] of the workmen. [6213] [4399]
18
Then Shaphan [8227] the scribe [5608] told [5046] the king, [4428] saying, [0559] Hilkiah [2518] the priest [3548] hath given [5414] me a book. [5612] And Shaphan [8227] read [7121] it before [6440] the king. [4428]
19
And it came to pass, when the king [4428] had heard [8085] the words [1697] of the law, [8451] that he rent [7167] his clothes. [0899]
20
And the king [4428] commanded [6680] Hilkiah, [2518] and Ahikam [0296] the son [1121] of Shaphan, [8227] and Abdon [5658] the son [1121] of Micah, [4318] and Shaphan [8227] the scribe, [5608] and Asaiah [6222] a servant [5650] of the king's, [4428] saying, [0559]
21
Go, [3212] enquire [1875] of the LORD [3068] for me, and for them that are left [7604] in Israel [3478] and in Judah, [3063] concerning the words [1697] of the book [5612] that is found: [4672] for great [1419] [is] the wrath [2534] of the LORD [3068] that is poured out [5413] upon us, because our fathers [0001] have not kept [8104] the word [1697] of the LORD, [3068] to do [6213] after all that is written [3789] in this book. [5612]
22
And Hilkiah, [2518] and [they] that the king [4428] [had appointed], went [3212] to Huldah [2468] the prophetess, [5031] the wife [0802] of Shallum [7967] the son [1121] of Tikvath, [8616] [8445] the son [1121] of Hasrah, [2641] keeper [8104] of the wardrobe; [0899] (now she dwelt [3427] in Jerusalem [3389] in the college:) [4932] and they spake [1696] to her to that [effect].
23
And she answered [0559] them, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [3068] God [0430] of Israel, [3478] Tell [0559] ye the man [0376] that sent [7971] you to me,
24
Thus saith [0559] the LORD, [3068] Behold, I will bring [0935] evil [7451] upon this place, [4725] and upon the inhabitants [3427] thereof, [even] all the curses [0423] that are written [3789] in the book [5612] which they have read [7121] before [6440] the king [4428] of Judah: [3063]
25
Because they have forsaken [5800] me, and have burned incense [6999] unto other [0312] gods, [0430] that they might provoke me to anger [3707] with all the works [4639] of their hands; [3027] therefore my wrath [2534] shall be poured out [5413] upon this place, [4725] and shall not be quenched. [3518]
26
And as for [0413] the king [4428] of Judah, [3063] who sent [7971] you to enquire [1875] of the LORD, [3068] so shall ye say [0559] unto him, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [3068] God [0430] of Israel [3478] [concerning] the words [1697] which thou hast heard; [8085]
27
Because thine heart [3824] was tender, [7401] and thou didst humble [3665] thyself before [6440] God, [0430] when thou heardest [8085] his words [1697] against this place, [4725] and against the inhabitants [3427] thereof, and humbledst [3665] thyself before [6440] me, and didst rend [7167] thy clothes, [0899] and weep [1058] before [6440] me; I have even heard [8085] [thee] also, saith [5002] the LORD. [3068]
28
Behold, I will gather [0622] thee to thy fathers, [0001] and thou shalt be gathered [0622] to thy grave [6913] in peace, [7965] neither shall thine eyes [5869] see [7200] all the evil [7451] that I will bring [0935] upon this place, [4725] and upon the inhabitants [3427] of the same. So they brought the king [4428] word [1697] again. [7725]
29
Then the king [4428] sent [7971] and gathered [0622] together all the elders [2205] of Judah [3063] and Jerusalem. [3389]
30
And the king [4428] went up [5927] into the house [1004] of the LORD, [3068] and all the men [0376] of Judah, [3063] and the inhabitants [3427] of Jerusalem, [3389] and the priests, [3548] and the Levites, [3881] and all the people, [5971] great [1419] and small: [6996] and he read [7121] in their ears [0241] all the words [1697] of the book [5612] of the covenant [1285] that was found [4672] in the house [1004] of the LORD. [3068]
31
And the king [4428] stood [5975] in his place, [5977] and made [3772] a covenant [1285] before [6440] the LORD, [3068] to walk [3212] after [0310] the LORD, [3068] and to keep [8104] his commandments, [4687] and his testimonies, [5715] and his statutes, [2706] with all his heart, [3824] and with all his soul, [5315] to perform [6213] the words [1697] of the covenant [1285] which are written [3789] in this book. [5612]
32
And he caused all that were present [4672] in Jerusalem [3389] and Benjamin [1144] to stand [5975] [to it]. And the inhabitants [3427] of Jerusalem [3389] did [6213] according to the covenant [1285] of God, [0430] the God [0430] of their fathers. [0001]
33
And Josiah [2977] took away [5493] all the abominations [8441] out of all the countries [0776] that [pertained] to the children [1121] of Israel, [3478] and made all that were present [4672] in Israel [3478] to serve, [5647] [even] to serve [5647] the LORD [3068] their God. [0430] [And] all his days [3117] they departed [5493] not from following [0310] the LORD, [3068] the God [0430] of their fathers. [0001]
