And the men

Also [they were] over the bearers of burdens

and [were] overseers
<05329> (8764)

of all that wrought
<06213> (8802)

the work
<04399>

in any manner of service

[there were] scribes

the money
<03701>

that was brought into

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>_:

34:25

Because they have forsaken
<05800> (8804)

me, and have burned incense
<06999> (8762) (8675) <06999> (8686)

unto other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

that they might provoke me to anger
<03707> (8687)

with all the works
<04639>

of their hands
<03027>_;

therefore my wrath
<02534>

shall be poured out
<05413> (8799)

upon this place
<04725>_,

and shall not be quenched
<03518> (8799)_.

34:26

And as for
<0413>

the king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

who sent
<07971> (8802)

you to enquire
<01875> (8800)

of the LORD
<03068>_,

so shall ye say
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

[concerning] the words
<01697>

which thou hast heard
<08085> (8804)_;

34:27

Because thine heart
<03824>

was tender
<07401> (8804)_,

and thou didst humble
<03665> (8735)

thyself before
<06440>

God
<0430>_,

when thou heardest
<08085> (8800)

his words
<01697>

against this place
<04725>_,

and against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

thereof, and humbledst
<03665> (8735)

thyself before
<06440>

me, and didst rend
<07167> (8799)

thy clothes
<0899>_,

and weep
<01058> (8799)

before
<06440>

me; I have even heard
<08085> (8804)

[thee] also, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

34:28

Behold, I will gather
<0622> (8802)

thee to thy fathers
<01>_,

and thou shalt be gathered
<0622> (8738)

to thy grave
<06913>

in peace
<07965>_,

neither shall thine eyes
<05869>

see
<07200> (8799)

all the evil
<07451>

that I will bring
<0935> (8688)

upon this place
<04725>_,

and upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the same. So they brought
<07725> (0)

the king
<04428>

word
<01697>

again
<07725> (8686)_.

34:29

Then the king
<04428>

sent
<07971> (8799)

and gathered together
<0622> (8799)

all the elders
<02205>

of Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_.

34:30

And the king
<04428>

went up
<05927> (8799)

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and all the men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and the priests
<03548>_,

and the Levites
<03881>_,

and all the people
<05971>_,

great
<01419>

and small
<06996>_:

and he read
<07121> (8799)

in their ears
<0241>

all the words
<01697>

of the book
<05612>

of the covenant
<01285>

that was found
<04672> (8737)

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{great...: Heb. from great even to small}

34:31

And the king
<04428>

stood
<05975> (8799)

in his place
<05977>_,

and made
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

to walk
<03212> (8800)

after
<0310>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and to keep
<08104> (8800)

his commandments
<04687>_,

and his testimonies
<05715>_,

and his statutes
<02706>_,

with all his heart
<03824>_,

and with all his soul
<05315>_,

to perform
<06213> (8800)

the words
<01697>

of the covenant
<01285>

which are written
<03789> (8803)

in this book
<05612>_.

34:32

And he caused all that were present
<04672> (8737)

in Jerusalem
<03389>

and Benjamin
<01144>

to stand
<05975> (8686)

[to it]. And the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>

did
<06213> (8799)

according to the covenant
<01285>

of God
<0430>_,

the God
<0430>

of their fathers
<01>_.

{present: Heb. found}

34:33

And Josiah
<02977>

took away
<05493> (8686)

all the abominations
<08441>

out of all the countries
<0776>

that [pertained] to the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and made all that were present
<04672> (8737)

in Israel
<03478>

to serve
<05647> (8686)_,

[even] to serve
<05647> (8800)

the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_.

[And] all his days
<03117>

they departed
<05493> (8804)

not from following
<0310>

the LORD
<03068>_,

the God
<0430>

of their fathers
<01>_.

{present: Heb. found} {from...: Heb. from after}
