34:1

Josiah
<02977>

[was] eight
<08083>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,

and he reigned
<04427> (8804)

in Jerusalem
<03389>

one
<0259>

and thirty
<07970>

years
<08141>_.

34:2

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] right
<03477>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and walked
<03212> (8799)

in the ways
<01870>

of David
<01732>

his father
<01>_,

and declined
<05493> (8804)

[neither] to the right hand
<03225>_,

nor to the left
<08040>_.

34:3

For in the eighth
<08083>

year
<08141>

of his reign
<04427> (8800)_,

while he was yet young
<05288>_,

he began
<02490> (8689)

to seek
<01875> (8800)

after the God
<0430>

of David
<01732>

his father
<01>_:

and in the twelfth
<08147> <06240>

year
<08141>

he began
<02490> (8689)

to purge
<02891> (8763)

Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>

from the high places
<01116>_,

and the groves
<0842>_,

and the carved images
<06456>_,

and the molten images
<04541>_.

34:4

And they brake down
<05422> (8762)

the altars
<04196>

of Baalim
<01168>

in his presence
<06440>_;

and the images
<02553>_,

that [were] on high above them
<04605>_,

he cut down
<01438> (8765)_;

and the groves
<0842>_,

and the carved images
<06456>_,

and the molten images
<04541>_,

he brake in pieces
<07665> (8765)_,

and made dust
<01854> (8689)

[of them], and strowed
<02236> (8799)

[it] upon
<06440>

the graves
<06913>

of them that had sacrificed
<02076> (8802)

unto them. {the images: or, the sun images} {graves: Heb. face of the graves}

34:5

And he burnt
<08313> (8804)

the bones
<06106>

of the priests
<03548>

upon their altars
<04196>_,

and cleansed
<02891> (8762)

Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_.

34:6

And [so did he] in the cities
<05892>

of Manasseh
<04519>_,

and Ephraim
<0669>_,

and Simeon
<08095>_,

even unto Naphtali
<05321>_,

with their mattocks
<02719>

round about
<05439>_.

{mattocks: or, mauls}

34:7

And when he had broken down
<05422> (8762)

the altars
<04196>

and the groves
<0842>_,

and had beaten
<03807> (8765)

the graven images
<06456>

into powder
<01854> (8687)_,

and cut down
<01438> (8765)

all the idols
<02553>

throughout all the land
<0776>

of Israel
<03478>_,

he returned
<07725> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

{into...: Heb. to make powder}

34:8

Now in the eighteenth
<08083> <06240>

year
<08141>

of his reign
<04427> (8800)_,

when he had purged
<02891> (8763)

the land
<0776>_,

and the house
<01004>_,

he sent
<07971> (8804)

Shaphan
<08227>

the son
<01121>

of Azaliah
<0683>_,

and Maaseiah
<04641>

the governor
<08269>

of the city
<05892>_,

and Joah
<03098>

the son
<01121>

of Joahaz
<03099>

the recorder
<02142> (8688)_,

to repair
<02388> (8763)

the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

his God
<0430>_.

34:9

And when they came
<0935> (8799)

to Hilkiah
<02518>

the high
<01419>

priest
<03548>_,

they delivered
<05414> (8799)

the money
<03701>

that was brought
<0935> (8716)

into the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_,

which the Levites
<03881>

that kept
<08104> (8802)

the doors
<05592>

had gathered
<0622> (8804)

of the hand
<03027>

of Manasseh
<04519>

and Ephraim
<0669>_,

and of all the remnant
<07611>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and of all Judah
<03063>

and Benjamin
<01144>_;

and they returned
<07725> (8799) (8675) <03427> (8802)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

34:10

And they put
<05414> (8799)

[it] in the hand
<03027>

of the workmen
<06213> (8802) <04399>

that had the oversight
<06485> (8716)

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and they gave
<05414> (8799)

it to the workmen
<06213> (8802) <04399>

that wrought
<06213> (8802)

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

to repair
<0918> (8800)

and amend
<02388> (8763)

the house
<01004>_:

34:11

Even to the artificers
<02796>

and builders
<01129> (8802)

gave
<05414> (8799)

they [it], to buy
<07069> (8800)

hewn
<04274>

stone
<068>_,

and timber
<06086>

for couplings
<04226>_,

and to floor
<07136> (8763)

the houses
<01004>

which the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

had destroyed
<07843> (8689)_.

{to floor: or, to rafter}

34:12

And the men
<0582>

did
<06213> (8802)

the work
<04399>

faithfully
<0530>_:

and the overseers
<05329> (8763)

of them [were] Jahath
<03189>

and Obadiah
<05662>_,

the Levites
<03881>_,

of the sons
<01121>

of Merari
<04847>_;

and Zechariah
<02148>

and Meshullam
<04918>_,

of the sons of the Kohathites
<06956>_,

to set [it] forward
<06485> (8716)_;

and [other of] the Levites
<03881>_,

all that could skill
<0995> (8688)

of instruments
<03627>

of musick
<07892>_.

34:13

Also [they were] over the bearers of burdens
<05449>_,

and [were] overseers
<05329> (8764)

of all that wrought
<06213> (8802)

the work
<04399>

in any manner of service
<05656>_:

and of the Levites
<03881>

[there were] scribes
<05608> (8802)_,

and officers
<07860> (8802)_,

and porters
<07778>_.

34:14

And when they brought out
<03318> (8687)

the money
<03701>

that was brought into
<0935> (8716)

the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

Hilkiah
<02518>

the priest
<03548>

found
<04672> (8804)

a book
<05612>

of the law
<08451>

of the LORD
<03068>

[given] by
<03027>

Moses
<04872>_.

{by: Heb. by the hand of}

34:15

And Hilkiah
<02518>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

to Shaphan
<08227>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,

I have found
<04672> (8804)

the book
<05612>

of the law
<08451>

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

And Hilkiah
<02518>

delivered
<05414> (8799)

the book
<05612>

to Shaphan
<08227>_.

34:16

And Shaphan
<08227>

carried
<0935> (8686)

the book
<05612>

to the king
<04428>_,

and brought
<07725> (0)

the king
<04428>

word
<01697>

back
<07725> (8686)

again, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

All that was committed
<05414> (8738)

to
<03027>

thy servants
<05650>_,

they do
<06213> (8802)

[it]. {to thy...: Heb. to the hand of, etc}

34:17

And they have gathered together
<05413> (8686)

the money
<03701>

that was found
<04672> (8737)

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and have delivered
<05414> (8799)

it into the hand
<03027>

of the overseers
<06485> (8716)_,

and to the hand
<03027>

of the workmen
<06213> (8802) <04399>_.

{gathered together: Heb. poured out, or, melted}

34:18

Then Shaphan
<08227>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)

told
<05046> (8686)

the king
<04428>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Hilkiah
<02518>

the priest
<03548>

hath given
<05414> (8804)

me a book
<05612>_.

And Shaphan
<08227>

read
<07121> (8799)

it before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_.

{it: Heb. in it}

34:19

And it came to pass, when the king
<04428>

had heard
<08085> (8800)

the words
<01697>

of the law
<08451>_,

that he rent
<07167> (8799)

his clothes
<0899>_.

34:20

And the king
<04428>

commanded
<06680> (8762)

Hilkiah
<02518>_,

and Ahikam
<0296>

the son
<01121>

of Shaphan
<08227>_,

and Abdon
<05658>

the son
<01121>

of Micah
<04318>_,

and Shaphan
<08227>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,

and Asaiah
<06222>

a servant
<05650>

of the king's
<04428>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

{Abdon: or, Achbor}

34:21

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

enquire
<01875> (8798)

of the LORD
<03068>

for me, and for them that are left
<07604> (8737)

in Israel
<03478>

and in Judah
<03063>_,

concerning the words
<01697>

of the book
<05612>

that is found
<04672> (8738)_:

for great
<01419>

[is] the wrath
<02534>

of the LORD
<03068>

that is poured out
<05413> (8738)

upon us, because our fathers
<01>

have not kept
<08104> (8804)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

to do
<06213> (8800)

after all that is written
<03789> (8803)

in this book
<05612>_.

34:22

And Hilkiah
<02518>_,

and [they] that the king
<04428>

[had appointed], went
<03212> (8799)

to Huldah
<02468>

the prophetess
<05031>_,

the wife
<0802>

of Shallum
<07967>

the son
<01121>

of Tikvath
<08616> (8676) <08445>_,

the son
<01121>

of Hasrah
<02641>_,

keeper
<08104> (8802)

of the wardrobe
<0899>_;

(now she dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in Jerusalem
<03389>

in the college
<04932>:)

and they spake
<01696> (8762)

to her to that [effect]. {Hasrah: also called, Harhas} {wardrobe: Heb. garments} {in the college: or, in the school, or, in the second part}

34:23

And she answered
<0559> (8799)

them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Tell
<0559> (8798)

ye the man
<0376>

that sent
<07971> (8804)

you to me,

34:24

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Behold, I will bring
<0935> (8688)

evil
<07451>

upon this place
<04725>_,

and upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

thereof, [even] all the curses
<0423>

that are written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

which they have read
<07121> (8804)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_:
