I have found
<04672> (8804)

the book
<05612>

of the law
<08451>

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

And Hilkiah
<02518>

gave
<05414> (8799)

the book
<05612>

to Shaphan
<08227>_,

and he read
<07121> (8799)

it.

22:9

And Shaphan
<08227>

the scribe
<05608> (8802)

came
<0935> (8799)

to the king
<04428>_,

and brought
<07725> (0)

the king
<04428>

word
<01697>

again
<07725> (8686)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy servants
<05650>

have gathered
<05413> (8689)

the money
<03701>

that was found
<04672> (8737)

in the house
<01004>_,

and have delivered
<05414> (8799)

it into the hand
<03027>

of them that do
<06213> (8802)

the work
<04399>_,

that have the oversight
<06485> (8716)

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{gathered: Heb. melted}

22:10

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)_.

22:18

But to the king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

which sent
<07971> (8802)

you to enquire
<01875> (8800)

of the LORD
<03068>_,

thus shall ye say
<0559> (8799)

to him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

[As touching] the words
<01697>

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

22:19

Because thine heart
<03824>

was tender
<07401> (8804)_,

and thou hast humbled
<03665> (8735)

thyself before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

when thou heardest
<08085> (8800)

what I spake
<01696> (8765)

against this place
<04725>_,

and against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

thereof, that they should become a desolation
<08047>

and a curse
<07045>_,

and hast rent
<07167> (8799)

thy clothes
<0899>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)

before
<06440>

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

[thee], saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

22:20

Behold therefore, I will gather
<0622> (8802)

thee unto thy fathers
<01>_,

and thou shalt be gathered
<0622> (8738)

into thy grave
<06913>

in peace
<07965>_;

and thine eyes
<05869>

shall not see
<07200> (8799)

all the evil
<07451>

which I will bring
<0935> (8688)

upon this place
<04725>_.

And they brought
<07725> (0)

the king
<04428>

word
<01697>

again
<07725> (8686)_.

23:1

And the king
<04428>

sent
<07971> (8799)_,

and they gathered
<0622> (8799)

unto him all the elders
<02205>

of Judah
<03063>

and of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

23:2

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 all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>

with him, and the priests
<03548>_,

and the prophets
<05030>_,

and all the people
<05971>_,

both small
<06996>

and great
<01419>_:

and he read
<07121> (8799)

in their ears
<0241>

all the words
<01697>

of the book
<05612>

of the covenant
<01285>

which was found
<04672> (8737)

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{both...: Heb. from small even unto great}

23:3

And the king
<04428>

stood
<05975> (8799)

by a pillar
<05982>_,

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
<02708>

with all [their] heart
<03820>

and all [their] soul
<05315>_,

to perform
<06965> (8687)

the words
<01697>

of this covenant
<01285>

that were written
<03789> (8803)

in this book
<05612>_.

And all the people
<05971>

stood
<05975> (8799)

to the covenant
<01285>_.
