2 Kings 22

KJV

1  Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ was eight⁸⁰⁸³ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and one²⁵⁹ years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹ And his mother's⁵¹⁷ name⁸⁰³⁴ was Jedidah,³⁰⁴⁰ the daughter¹³²³ of Adaiah⁵⁷¹⁸ of Boscath.^{4480 1218}

2  And he did⁶²¹³ that which was right³⁴⁷⁷ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in all³⁶⁰⁵ the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of David¹⁷³² his father,¹ and turned not aside^{3808 5493} to the right hand³²²⁵ or to the left.⁸⁰⁴⁰

3  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ in the eighteenth^{8083 6240} year⁸¹⁴¹ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Josiah,²⁹⁷⁷ that the king⁴⁴²⁸ sent^{7971 853} Shaphan⁸²²⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Azaliah,⁶⁸³ the son¹¹²¹ of Meshullam,⁴⁹¹⁸ the scribe,⁵⁶⁰⁸ to the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹

4  Go up⁵⁹²⁷ to⁴¹³ Hilkiah²⁵¹⁸ the high¹⁴¹⁹ priest,³⁵⁴⁸ that he may sum^{8552 853} the silver³⁷⁰¹ which is brought⁹³⁵ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ which⁸³⁴ the keepers⁸¹⁰⁴ of the door⁵⁵⁹² have gathered⁶²² of^{4480 854} the people:⁵⁹⁷¹

5  And let them deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ it into⁵⁹²¹ the hand³⁰²⁷ of the doers⁶²¹³ of the work,⁴³⁹⁹ that have the oversight⁶⁴⁸⁵ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and let them give⁵⁴¹⁴ it to the doers⁶²¹³ of the work⁴³⁹⁹ which⁸³⁴ is in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ to repair²³⁸⁸ the breaches⁹¹⁹ of the house,¹⁰⁰⁴

6  Unto carpenters,²⁷⁹⁶ and builders,¹¹²⁹ and masons,¹⁴⁴³ and to buy⁷⁰⁶⁹ timber⁶⁰⁸⁶ and hewn⁴²⁷⁴ stone⁶⁸ to repair^{2388 853} the house.¹⁰⁰⁴

7  Howbeit³⁸⁹ there was no³⁸⁰⁸ reckoning²⁸⁰³ made with⁸⁵⁴ them of the money³⁷⁰¹ that was delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ into⁵⁹²¹ their hand,³⁰²⁷ because³⁵⁸⁸ they¹⁹⁹² dealt⁶²¹³ faithfully.⁵³⁰

8  And Hilkiah²⁵¹⁸ the high¹⁴¹⁹ priest³⁵⁴⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁵⁹²¹ Shaphan⁸²²⁷ the scribe,⁵⁶⁰⁸ I have found⁴⁶⁷² the book⁵⁶¹² of the law⁸⁴⁵¹ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸ And Hilkiah²⁵¹⁸ gave^{5414 853} the book⁵⁶¹² to⁴¹³ Shaphan,⁸²²⁷ and he read⁷¹²¹ it.

9  And Shaphan⁸²²⁷ the scribe⁵⁶⁰⁸ came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ and brought the king word again,^{7725 853 4428 1697} and said,⁵⁵⁹ Thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ have gathered^{5413 853} the money³⁷⁰¹ that was found⁴⁶⁷² in the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and have delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ it into⁵⁹²¹ the hand³⁰²⁷ of them that do⁶²¹³ the work,⁴³⁹⁹ that have the oversight⁶⁴⁸⁵ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

10  And Shaphan⁸²²⁷ the scribe⁵⁶⁰⁸ showed⁵⁰⁴⁶ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Hilkiah²⁵¹⁸ the priest³⁵⁴⁸ hath delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ me a book.⁵⁶¹² And Shaphan⁸²²⁷ read⁷¹²¹ it before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the king.⁴⁴²⁸

11  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when the king⁴⁴²⁸ had heard^{8085 853} the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of the book⁵⁶¹² of the law,⁸⁴⁵¹ that he rent^{7167 853} his clothes.⁸⁹⁹

12  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ commanded^{6680 853} Hilkiah²⁵¹⁸ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and Ahikam²⁹⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Shaphan,⁸²²⁷ and Achbor⁵⁹⁰⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Michaiah,⁴³²⁰ and Shaphan⁸²²⁷ the scribe,⁵⁶⁰⁸ and Asahiah⁶²²² a servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ of the king's,⁴⁴²⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹

13  Go¹⁹⁸⁰ ye, inquire¹⁸⁷⁵ of ⁸⁵³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ for¹¹⁵⁷ me, and for¹¹⁵⁷ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and for¹¹⁵⁷ all³⁶⁰⁵ Judah,³⁰⁶³ concerning⁵⁹²¹ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of this²⁰⁸⁸ book⁵⁶¹² that is found:⁴⁶⁷² for³⁵⁸⁸ great¹⁴¹⁹ is the wrath²⁵³⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ that⁸³⁴ is kindled³³⁴¹ against us, because^{5921 834} our fathers¹ have not³⁸⁰⁸ hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁵⁹²¹ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of this²⁰⁸⁸ book,⁵⁶¹² to do⁶²¹³ according unto all³⁶⁰⁵ that which is written³⁷⁸⁹ concerning⁵⁹²¹ us.

14  So Hilkiah²⁵¹⁸ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ and Ahikam,²⁹⁶ and Achbor,⁵⁹⁰⁷ and Shaphan,⁸²²⁷ and Asahiah,⁶²²² went¹⁹⁸⁰ unto⁴¹³ Huldah²⁴⁶⁸ the prophetess,⁵⁰³¹ the wife⁸⁰² of Shallum⁷⁹⁶⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Tikvah,⁸⁶¹⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Harhas,²⁷⁴⁵ keeper⁸¹⁰⁴ of the wardrobe;⁸⁹⁹ (now she¹⁹³¹ dwelt³⁴²⁷ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ in the college;)⁴⁹³² and they communed¹⁶⁹⁶ with⁴¹³ her.

15  And she said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ Tell⁵⁵⁹ the man³⁷⁶ that⁸³⁴ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ you to⁴¹³ me,

16  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will bring⁹³⁵ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ upon⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ place,⁴⁷²⁵ and upon⁵⁹²¹ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ thereof, even ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of the book⁵⁶¹² which⁸³⁴ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ hath read:⁷¹²¹

17  Because^{8478 834} they have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ me, and have burned incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ unto other³¹² gods,⁴³⁰ that⁴⁶¹⁶ they might provoke me to anger³⁷⁰⁷ with all³⁶⁰⁵ the works⁴⁶³⁹ of their hands;³⁰²⁷ therefore my wrath²⁵³⁴ shall be kindled³³⁴¹ against this²⁰⁸⁸ place,⁴⁷²⁵ and shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be quenched.³⁵¹⁸

18  But to⁴¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ which sent⁷⁹⁷¹ you to inquire¹⁸⁷⁵ of ⁸⁵³ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ thus³⁵⁴¹ shall ye say⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ him, Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ As touching the words¹⁶⁹⁷ which⁸³⁴ thou hast heard;⁸⁰⁸⁵

19  Because³²⁸² thine heart³⁸²⁴ was tender,⁷⁴⁰¹ and thou hast humbled thyself³⁶⁶⁵ before^{4480 6440} the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ when thou heardest⁸⁰⁸⁵ what⁸³⁴ I spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ against⁵⁹²¹ this²⁰⁸⁸ place,⁴⁷²⁵ and against⁵⁹²¹ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ thereof, that they should become¹⁹⁶¹ a desolation⁸⁰⁴⁷ and a curse,⁷⁰⁴⁵ and hast rent^{7167 853} thy clothes,⁸⁹⁹ and wept¹⁰⁵⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ me; I⁵⁹⁵ also¹⁵⁷¹ have heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ thee, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

20  Behold²⁰⁰⁹ therefore,³⁶⁵¹ I will gather⁶²² thee unto⁵⁹²¹ thy fathers,¹ and thou shalt be gathered⁶²² into⁴¹³ thy grave⁶⁹¹³ in peace;⁷⁹⁶⁵ and thine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ see⁷²⁰⁰ all³⁶⁰⁵ the evil⁷⁴⁵¹ which⁸³⁴ I⁵⁸⁹ will bring⁹³⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ this²⁰⁸⁸ place.⁴⁷²⁵ And they brought^{7725 853} the king⁴⁴²⁸ word¹⁶⁹⁷ again.

1 υἱὸς ὀκτὼ ἐτῶν Ιωσιας ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν καὶ τριάκοντα καὶ ἓν ἔτος ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Ιεδιδα θυγάτηρ Εδεϊα ἐκ Βασουρωθ

2 καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ εὐθὲς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς κυρίου καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν πάσῃ ὁδῷ Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἀπέστη δεξιὰ ἢ ἀριστερά

3 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ ὀκτωκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει τῷ βασιλεῖ Ιωσια ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ὀγδόῳ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν Σαφφαν υἱὸν Εσελιου υἱοῦ Μεσολλαμ τὸν γραμματέα οἴκου κυρίου λέγων

4 ἀνάβηθι πρὸς Χελκιαν τὸν ἱερέα τὸν μέγαν καὶ σφράγισον τὸ ἀργύριον τὸ εἰσενεχθὲν ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου ὃ συνήγαγον οἱ φυλάσσοντες τὸν σταθμὸν παρὰ τοῦ λαοῦ

5 καὶ δότωσαν αὐτὸ ἐπὶ χεῖρα ποιούντων τὰ ἔργα τῶν καθεσταμένων ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὸ τοῖς ποιοῦσιν τὰ ἔργα τοῖς ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου τοῦ κατισχῦσαι τὸ βεδεκ τοῦ οἴκου

6 τοῖς τέκτοσιν καὶ τοῖς οἰκοδόμοις καὶ τοῖς τειχισταῖς καὶ τοῦ κτήσασθαι ξύλα καὶ λίθους λατομητοὺς τοῦ κραταιῶσαι τὸ βεδεκ τοῦ οἴκου

7 πλὴν οὐκ ἐξελογίζοντο αὐτοὺς τὸ ἀργύριον τὸ διδόμενον αὐτοῖς ὅτι ἐν πίστει αὐτοὶ ποιοῦσιν

8 καὶ εἶπεν Χελκιας ὁ ἱερεὺς ὁ μέγας πρὸς Σαφφαν τὸν γραμματέα βιβλίον τοῦ νόμου εὗρον ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου καὶ ἔδωκεν Χελκιας τὸ βιβλίον πρὸς Σαφφαν καὶ ἀνέγνω αὐτό

9 καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ιωσιαν καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν τῷ βασιλεῖ ῥῆμα καὶ εἶπεν ἐχώνευσαν οἱ δοῦλοί σου τὸ ἀργύριον τὸ εὑρεθὲν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ κυρίου καὶ ἔδωκαν αὐτὸ ἐπὶ χεῖρα ποιούντων τὰ ἔργα τῶν καθεσταμένων ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου

10 καὶ εἶπεν Σαφφαν ὁ γραμματεὺς πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα λέγων βιβλίον ἔδωκέν μοι Χελκιας ὁ ἱερεύς καὶ ἀνέγνω αὐτὸ Σαφφαν ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως

11 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τοὺς λόγους τοῦ βιβλίου τοῦ νόμου καὶ διέρρηξεν τὰ ἱμάτια ἑαυτοῦ

12 καὶ ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Χελκια τῷ ἱερεῖ καὶ τῷ Αχικαμ υἱῷ Σαφφαν καὶ τῷ Αχοβωρ υἱῷ Μιχαιου καὶ τῷ Σαφφαν τῷ γραμματεῖ καὶ τῷ Ασαια δούλῳ τοῦ βασιλέως λέγων

13 δεῦτε ἐκζητήσατε τὸν κύριον περὶ ἐμοῦ καὶ περὶ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ περὶ παντὸς τοῦ Ιουδα περὶ τῶν λόγων τοῦ βιβλίου τοῦ εὑρεθέντος τούτου ὅτι μεγάλη ἡ ὀργὴ κυρίου ἡ ἐκκεκαυμένη ἐν ἡμῖν ὑπὲρ οὗ οὐκ ἤκουσαν οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν τῶν λόγων τοῦ βιβλίου τούτου τοῦ ποιεῖν κατὰ πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα καθ᾽ ἡμῶν

14 καὶ ἐπορεύθη Χελκιας ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ Αχικαμ καὶ Αχοβωρ καὶ Σαφφαν καὶ Ασαιας πρὸς Ολδαν τὴν προφῆτιν γυναῖκα Σελλημ υἱοῦ Θεκουε υἱοῦ Αραας τοῦ ἱματιοφύλακος καὶ αὐτὴ κατῴκει ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ἐν τῇ μασενα καὶ ἐλάλησαν πρὸς αὐτήν

15 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ εἴπατε τῷ ἀνδρὶ τῷ ἀποστείλαντι ὑμᾶς πρός με

16 τάδε λέγει κύριος ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω κακὰ ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τοῦτον καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐνοικοῦντας αὐτόν πάντας τοὺς λόγους τοῦ βιβλίου οὓς ἀνέγνω βασιλεὺς Ιουδα

17 ἀνθ᾽ ὧν ἐγκατέλιπόν με καὶ ἐθυμίων θεοῖς ἑτέροις ὅπως παροργίσωσίν με ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν καὶ ἐκκαυθήσεται ὁ θυμός μου ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ καὶ οὐ σβεσθήσεται

18 καὶ πρὸς βασιλέα Ιουδα τὸν ἀποστείλαντα ὑμᾶς ἐπιζητῆσαι τὸν κύριον τάδε ἐρεῖτε πρὸς αὐτόν τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ οἱ λόγοι οὓς ἤκουσας

19 ἀνθ᾽ ὧν ὅτι ἡπαλύνθη ἡ καρδία σου καὶ ἐνετράπης ἀπὸ προσώπου κυρίου ὡς ἤκουσας ὅσα ἐλάλησα ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τοῦτον καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐνοικοῦντας αὐτὸν τοῦ εἶναι εἰς ἀφανισμὸν καὶ εἰς κατάραν καὶ διέρρηξας τὰ ἱμάτιά σου καὶ ἔκλαυσας ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ καί γε ἐγὼ ἤκουσα λέγει κύριος

20 οὐχ οὕτως ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ προστίθημί σε πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας σου καὶ συναχθήσῃ εἰς τὸν τάφον σου ἐν εἰρήνῃ καὶ οὐκ ὀφθήσεται ἐν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς κακοῖς οἷς ἐγώ εἰμι ἐπάγω ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τοῦτον καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν τῷ βασιλεῖ τὸ ῥῆμα

1 Octo annorum erat Josias cum regnare cœpisset: triginta et uno anno regnavit in Jerusalem: nomen matris ejus Idida filia Hadaia de Besecath.

2 Fecitque quod placitum erat coram Domino, et ambulavit per omnes vias David patris sui: non declinavit ad dexteram, sive ad sinistram.

3 Anno autem octavodecimo regis Josiæ, misit rex Saphan filium Aslia filii Messulam scribam templi Domini, dicens ei:

4 Vade ad Helciam sacerdotem magnum, ut confletur pecunia quæ illata est in templum Domini, quam collegerunt janitores templi a populo:

5 deturque fabris per præpositos domus Domini, qui et distribuant eam his qui operantur in templo Domini, ad instauranda sartatecta templi:

6 tignariis videlicet et cæmentariis, et iis qui interrupta componunt: et ut emantur ligna, et lapides de lapicidinis, ad instaurandum templum Domini.

7 Verumtamen non supputetur eis argentum quod accipiunt, sed in potestate habeant, et in fide.

8 Dixit autem Helcias pontifex ad Saphan scribam: Librum legis reperi in domo Domini. Deditque Helcias volumen Saphan, qui et legit illud.

9 Venit quoque Saphan scriba ad regem, et renuntiavit ei quod præceperat, et ait: Conflaverunt servi tui pecuniam quæ reperta est in domo Domini, et dederunt ut distribueretur fabris a præfectis operum templi Domini.

10 Narravit quoque Saphan scriba regi, dicens: Librum dedit mihi Helcias sacerdos. Quem cum legisset Saphan coram rege,

11 et audisset rex verba libri legis Domini, scidit vestimenta sua.

12 Et præcepit Helciæ sacerdoti, et Ahicam filio Saphan, et Achobor filio Micha, et Saphan scribæ, et Asaiæ servo regis, dicens:

13 Ite et consulite Dominum super me, et super populo, et super omni Juda, de verbis voluminis istius, quod inventum est: magna enim ira Domini succensa est contra nos, quia non audierunt patres nostri verba libri hujus, ut facerent omne quod scriptum est nobis.

14 Ierunt itaque Helcias sacerdos, et Ahicam, et Achobor, et Sapham, et Asaia, ad Holdam prophetidem, uxorem Sellum filii Thecuæ filii Araas custodis vestium, quæ habitabat in Jerusalem in Secunda: locutique sunt ad eam.

15 Et illa respondit eis: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël: Dicite viro qui misit vos ad me:

16 Hæc dicit Dominus: Ecce ego adducam mala super locum istum, et super habitatores ejus, omnia verba legis quæ legit rex Juda:

17 quia dereliquerunt me, et sacrificaverunt diis alienis, irritantes me in cunctis operibus manuum suarum: et succendetur indignatio mea in loco hoc, et non extinguetur.

18 Regi autem Juda, qui misit vos ut consuleretis Dominum, sic dicetis: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël: Pro eo quod audisti verba voluminis,

19 et perterritum est cor tuum, et humiliatus es coram Domino, auditis sermonibus contra locum istum et habitatores ejus, quod videlicet fierent in stuporem et in maledictum: et scidisti vestimenta tua, et flevisti coram me, et ego audivi, ait Dominus:

20 idcirco colligam te ad patres tuos, et colligeris ad sepulchrum tuum in pace, ut non videant oculi tui omnia mala quæ inducturus sum super locum istum.
