, and he reigned in Jerusalem one
and
thirty
years.
A
son
of
eight years `is'
Josiah
in
his
reigning
, and thirty
and
one
years
he hath
reigned in Jerusalem ,
And he did
that which was
right in the sight
of the
LORD
, and walked
in the ways of David his father, and declined
neither
to
the
right hand,
nor
to
the
left.
and he doth
that which is
right in the eyes
of Jehovah
, and walketh
in the ways of David his father, and hath
not
turned
aside
--

For
in the eighth year of his reign ,
while
he was
yet young
, he began
to seek after
the God of David his father :
and in the twelfth year he began
to purge
Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves
, and the carved
images, and the molten images.
And
in the eighth year of his reign (and
he yet a
youth)
, he hath
begun
to seek to
the God of David his father ,
and in the twelfth year he hath
begun
to cleanse
Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the shrines
, and the graven
images, and the molten images.
And they brake
down the altars of Baalim in
his
presence;
and the images ,
that were
on high above them ,
he cut down ;
and the groves
, and the carved
images, and the molten images, he brake
in
pieces,
and made
dust
of
them
, and strewed
it
upon
the graves of them
that
had
sacrificed
unto
them .
And they break
down before
him
the altars of the
Baalim ,
and the images that `are'
on high above them he hath
cut down ,
and the shrines
, and the graven
images, and the molten images, he hath
broken
and beaten
small
, and streweth
on
the surface
of
the
graves of those
sacrificing
to
them ,
And he
burnt
the bones of the priests upon
their altars, and cleansed
Judah and Jerusalem .
and the bones of the priests he
hath
burnt
on
their altars, and cleanseth
Judah and Jerusalem ,
And so
did
he
in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their mattocks
round about.
and in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their tools,
round about.
And when
he had
broken
down the altars and the groves
, and had
beaten
the graven images into
powder
, and cut
down
all the idols
throughout
all the land of Israel, he
returned
to Jerusalem.
And he breaketh
down the altars and the shrines
, and the graven images he
hath
beaten
down
very
small
, and all the images
he
hath
cut
down
in
all the land of Israel, and
turneth
back
to Jerusalem.
Now
in the eighteenth year of his reign, when
he
had
purged
the land ,
and the house ,
he sent Shaphan the
son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the
governor
of the city, and Joah the
son of Joahaz
the recorder
, to repair
the house of the
LORD
his God.
And
in the eighteenth year of his reign, to
purify
the land and the house he hath

the house of Jehovah
his God.
And when
they came
to
Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered
the money that was
brought into
the house of God, which
the Levites that
kept
the doors
had
gathered of
the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of
all the remnant of Israel, and of
all Judah and Benjamin ;
and they
returned
to
Jerusalem .
And they come
in
unto
Hilkiah the high priest, and
they give
the money that is
brought in
to
the house of God, that
the Levites ,
keeping
the threshold,
have
gathered from
the hand of Manasseh ,
and Ephraim, and from
all the remnant of Israel, and from
all Judah ,
and Benjamin ,
and the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem ,
And they put
it in
the hand of the workmen that
had
the
oversight
of
the house of the
LORD
, and they gave
it to the workmen that
wrought
in the house of the
LORD
, to repair and amend
the house :
and they give
`
it '
into
the hand of the workmen ,
those
appointed
over
the house of Jehovah
, and they give
it `
to '
the workmen who
are
working
in the house of Jehovah
, to repair and to
strengthen
the house ;
Even
to the
artificers and builders gave
they
it
, to buy hewn stone
, and timber
for couplings ,
and to floor
the houses which
the kings of Judah had destroyed.
and
they
give
`it'
to artificers ,
and to

And the men did
the
work
faithfully :
and
the overseers
of
them were
Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari ;
and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites
, to set
it
forward
; and other
of the Levites, all
that
could

And the men are
working
faithfully in
the business,
and
over
them are
appointed
Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari ,
and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathite
, to overlook
; and of the Levites, every
one
understanding
about
instruments of song,
Also
they
were
over the bearers of
burdens
, and were
overseers of all
that
wrought
the
work in
any
manner
of
service :
and of the Levites there
were
scribes, and officers, and porters
.
and
over the burden-
bearers, and overseers of every
one
doing
work for
service and service;
and
of the Levites `are'
scribes, and officers, and gatekeepers
.
And when
they
brought
out the money that was
brought into
the house of the
LORD
, Hilkiah the priest found a
book of the law of the
LORD
given
by Moses .
And in
their
bringing
out the money that is
brought in
to
the house of Jehovah
, hath
Hilkiah the priest found the
book of the law of Jehovah
by the
hand
of
Moses ,
And Hilkiah answered
and said
to
Shaphan the scribe, I
have
found
the
book of the law in the house of the
LORD.
And Hilkiah delivered
the book to
Shaphan .
and Hilkiah answereth
and saith
unto
Shaphan the scribe, `A
book of the law I
have
found
in the house of Jehovah;'
and Hilkiah giveth
the book unto
Shaphan ,
And Shaphan carried
the book to
the king, and brought
the king word
back again, saying, All that was
committed
to
thy servants ,
they do
it.
and Shaphan bringeth
in
the book unto
the king, and bringeth
the king back word
again, saying, `
All that hath
been
given
into
the
hand
of
thy servants they are
doing,
And they have
gathered
together
the money that was
found in the house of the
LORD
, and have
delivered
it into the hand of the
overseers
, and to
the hand
of the workmen
.
and they pour
out
the money that is
found in the house of Jehovah
, and give
it into the hand of those
appointed
, and into
the hands
of those
doing
the work
. '
Then
Shaphan the scribe told
the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath
given me a
book.
And Shaphan read
it before the king.
And
Shaphan the scribe declareth
to
the king, saying, `A
book
hath
Hilkiah the priest given to
me ;'
and Shaphan readeth
in
it before the king.
And it came
to pass, when
the king
had
heard
the words of the law, that he rent
his clothes.
And it cometh
to pass, at
the king's
hearing
the words of the law, that he rendeth
his garments,
And the king commanded
Hilkiah, and Ahikam the
son of Shaphan, and Abdon the
son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a
servant of the king's
, saying,
and the king commandeth
Hilkiah, and Ahikam son of Shaphan, and Abdon son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah ,
servant of the king
, saying,
Go, enquire
of
the
LORD
for me, and for them
that
are
left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found :
for great is the wrath
of the
LORD
that is poured out
upon
us, because our fathers have
not
kept the word of the
LORD
, to do after
all that is written in
this book.
`
Go, seek
Jehovah
for me, and for him
who
is
left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found ,
for great `
is '
the fury
of Jehovah
that is poured on
us, because that
our fathers kept not
the word of Jehovah
, to do according
to
all that is written on
this book. '
And Hilkiah, and they that
the king had
appointed
, went
to
Huldah the prophetess, the
wife of Shallum the
son of Tikvath, the
son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe;
(now
she dwelt
in Jerusalem in the college:)
and they spake
to
her to
that
effect
.
And Hilkiah goeth
, and they of
the king, unto
Huldah the prophetess, wife of Shallum son of Tikvath, son of Hasrah, keeper of the garments,
and
she is
dwelling
in Jerusalem in the Second,
and they speak
unto
her thus
.
And she answered
them, Thus saith
the
LORD
God of Israel, Tell
ye
the man that
sent you to
me,
And she saith
to
them, `
Thus said
Jehovah,
God of Israel, Say
to
the man who
hath
sent you unto
me,
Thus saith
the
LORD
, Behold
, I will
bring
evil upon
this place, and upon
the
inhabitants thereof
, even
all the curses
that are written in
the book which
they have
read before the king of Judah :
Thus said
Jehovah
, Lo
, I am
bringing
in
evil on
this place, and on
its
inhabitants, all the execrations
that are written on
the book that
they read before the king of Judah ;
Because they have forsaken me, and have
burned
incense
unto
other gods, that
they
might
provoke me to
anger
with all the works of their hands ;
therefore
my
wrath
shall
be
poured out upon this place, and shall
not be
quenched.
because that
they have forsaken Me, and make
perfume
to
other gods, so
as
to
provoke Me with all the works of their hands ,
and
poured out is
My
fury
upon this place, and it
is
not quenched.
And as
for
the king of Judah, who sent
you to enquire
of the
LORD
, so
shall
ye say unto him ,
Thus saith
the
LORD
God of Israel concerning
the
words which
thou hast heard ;
`
And unto
the king of Judah, who is
sending
you to inquire
of Jehovah
, thus
do
ye say unto him :
Thus said
Jehovah
God of Israel ,
whose
words thou hast heard :
Because thine
heart was
tender, and thou didst
humble
thyself
before God ,
when
thou
heardest
his words against
this place, and against
the
inhabitants thereof
, and humbledst
thyself
before me, and didst
rend thy clothes
, and weep before me ;
I have even
heard thee
also,
saith
the LORD
.
Because thy
heart `is'
tender, and thou art
humbled
before God in
thy
hearing
His words concerning
this place, and concerning
its
inhabitants, and art
humbled
before Me, and dost
rend thy garments
, and weep before Me :
even
I also
have heard --
the affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
Behold
, I will
gather
thee to
thy fathers, and thou shalt
be
gathered to
thy grave
in peace, neither
shall
thine eyes see
all the evil that I will
bring
upon this place, and upon the
inhabitants of
the
same.
So
they brought
the king word again
.
Lo
, I am
gathering
thee unto
thy fathers, and thou hast
been
gathered unto
thy graves
in peace, and
thine eyes do
not
look
on
all the evil that I am
bringing
upon this place, and upon its
inhabitants ;'
and
they bring
the king back
word.

the king sent
and gathered
together
all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem .
And
the king sendeth
and gathereth
all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem ,

up into
the house of the

in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was
found in the house of the
LORD
.

man

in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that is
found in the house of Jehovah
.
And the king stood
in
his place
, and made
a
covenant before the
