against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah
his son king in his place.
021:025 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, aren't they
written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
021:026 He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza:
and Josiah his son reigned in his place.
022:001 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign;
and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother's
name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.
022:002 He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, and walked
in all the way of David his father, and didn't turn aside
to the right hand or to the left.
022:003 It happened in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king
sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah the son of Meshullam,
the scribe, to the house of Yahweh, saying,
022:004 Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the money
which is brought into the house of Yahweh, which the keepers
of the threshold have gathered of the people:
022:005 and let them deliver it into the hand of the workmen who have
the oversight of the house of Yahweh; and let them give it
to the workmen who are in the house of Yahweh, to repair
the breaches of the house,
022:006 to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons,
and for buying timber and hewn stone to repair the house.
022:007 However there was no reckoning made with them of the money
that was delivered into their hand; for they dealt faithfully.
022:008 Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe,
I have found the book of the law in the house of Yahweh.
Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
022:009 Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king
word again, and said, Your servants have emptied out the money
that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand
of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of Yahweh.
022:010 Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest
has delivered me a book. Shaphan read it before the king.
022:011 It happened, when the king had heard the words of the book
of the law, that he tore his clothes.
022:012 The king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son
of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe,
and Asaiah the king's servant, saying,
022:013 Go you, inquire of Yahweh for me, and for the people, and for
all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found;
for great is the wrath of Yahweh that is kindled against us,
because our fathers have not listened to the words of this book,
to do according to all that which is written concerning us.
022:014 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan,
and Asaiah, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum
