the book
<05612>

<04428>

word
<01697>

again
<07725> (8686)_,

<05413> (8689)

the money
<03701>

that was found
<04672> (8737)

the work
<04399>_,

And Shaphan
<08227>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)

shewed
<05046> (8686)

the king
<04428>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Hilkiah
<02518>

the priest
<03548>

hath delivered
<05414> (8804)

me a book
<05612>_.

And Shaphan
<08227>

read
<07121> (8799)

it before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_.

22:11

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

had heard
<08085> (8800)

the words
<01697>

of the book
<05612>

of the law
<08451>_,

that he rent
<07167> (8799)

his clothes
<0899>_.

22:12

And the king
<04428>

commanded
<06680> (8762)

Hilkiah
<02518>

the priest
<03548>_,

and Ahikam
<0296>

the son
<01121>

of Shaphan
<08227>_,

and Achbor
<05907>

the son
<01121>

of Michaiah
<04320>_,

and Shaphan
<08227>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,

and Asahiah
<06222>

a servant
<05650>

of the king's
<04428>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

{Achbor: or, Abdon} {Michaiah: or, Micah}

22:13

Go
<03212> (8798)

ye, enquire
<01875> (8798)

of the LORD
<03068>

for me, and for the people
<05971>_,

and for all Judah
<03063>_,

concerning the words
<01697>

of this book
<05612>

that is found
<04672> (8737)_:

for great
<01419>

[is] the wrath
<02534>

of the LORD
<03068>

that is kindled
<03341> (8738)

against us, because our fathers
<01>

have not hearkened
<08085> (8804)

unto the words
<01697>

of this book
<05612>_,

to do
<06213> (8800)

according unto all that which is written
<03789> (8803)

concerning us.

22:14

So Hilkiah
<02518>

the priest
<03548>_,

and Ahikam
<0296>_,

and Achbor
<05907>_,

and Shaphan
<08227>_,

and Asahiah
<06222>_,

went
<03212> (8799)

unto Huldah
<02468>

the prophetess
<05031>_,

the wife
<0802>

of Shallum
<07967>

the son
<01121>

of Tikvah
<08616>_,

the son
<01121>

of Harhas
<02745>_,

keeper
<08104> (8802)

of the wardrobe
<0899>_;

(now she dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in Jerusalem
<03389>

in the college
<04932>;)

and they communed
<01696> (8762)

with her. {wardrobe: Heb. garments} {in the...: or, in the second part}

22:15

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Tell
<0559> (8798)

the man
<0376>

that sent
<07971> (8804)

you to me,

22:16

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 words
<01697>

of the book
<05612>

which the king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

hath read
<07121> (8804)_:

22:17

Because they have forsaken
<05800> (8804)

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

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 kindled
<03341> (8738)

against this place
<04725>_,

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