034:014 When they brought out the money that was brought into the house
of Yahweh, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law
of Yahweh [given] by Moses.
034:015 Hilkiah answered Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book
of the law in the house of Yahweh. Hilkiah delivered
the book to Shaphan.
034:016 Shaphan carried the book to the king, and moreover brought back
word to the king, saying, All that was committed to your servants,
they are doing.
034:017 They have emptied out the money that was found in the house
of Yahweh, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers,
and into the hand of the workmen.
034:018 Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest has
delivered me a book. Shaphan read therein before the king.
034:019 It happened, when the king had heard the words of the law,
that he tore his clothes.
034:020 The king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan,
and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah
the king's servant, saying,
034:021 Go you, inquire of Yahweh for me, and for those who are left in Israel
and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found;
for great is the wrath of Yahweh that is poured out on us,
because our fathers have not kept the word of Yahweh,
to do according to all that is written in this book.
034:022 So Hilkiah, and they whom the king [had commanded],
went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son
of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe;
(now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter;)
and they spoke to her to that effect.
034:023 She said to them, Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: Tell you
the man who sent you to me,
034:024 Thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will bring evil on this place,
and on the inhabitants of it, even all the curses that are written
in the book which they have read before the king of Judah.
034:025 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods,
that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of
their hands; therefore is my wrath poured out on this place,
and it shall not be quenched.
034:026 But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Yahweh,
thus shall you tell him, Thus says Yahweh, the God
of Israel: As touching the words which you have heard,
034:027 because your heart was tender, and you did humble yourself
before God, when you heard his words against this place,
and against the inhabitants of it, and have humbled yourself
before me, and have torn your clothes, and wept before me;
I also have heard you, says Yahweh.
034:028 Behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered
to your grave in peace, neither shall your eyes see all the evil
