00:00.000 --> 00:06.900
Chapter 22 Josiah was eight years old when
he began to reign, and he reigned thirty

00:06.900 --> 00:08.120
and one years in Jerusalem.

00:09.060 --> 00:13.340
And his mother's name was Judida,
the daughter of Adaiah of Boschath.

00:14.160 --> 00:18.260
And he did that which was right in the
sight of the Lord, and walked in all the

00:18.260 --> 00:23.120
way of David his father, and turned not
aside to the right hand or to the left.

00:23.620 --> 00:28.480
And it came to pass in the eighteenth year
of King Josiah that the king sent Shaphan,

00:28.800 --> 00:33.220
the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshulam
the scribe, to the house of the Lord,

00:33.400 --> 00:38.860
saying, Go up to Hilkiah the high priest,
that he may sum the silver which is

00:38.860 --> 00:42.300
brought into the house of the Lord,
which the keepers of the door have

00:42.300 --> 00:43.420
gathered of the people.

00:44.360 --> 00:49.140
And let them deliver it into the hand of
the doers of the work that have the

00:49.140 --> 00:51.140
oversight of the house of the Lord.

00:52.080 --> 00:56.600
And let them give it to the doers of the
work which is in the house of the Lord to

00:56.600 --> 01:02.780
repair the breaches of the house,
and to carpenters and builders and masons,

01:03.160 --> 01:06.560
and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair
the house.

01:07.620 --> 01:11.760
Howbeit there was no reckoning made with
them of the money that was delivered into

01:11.760 --> 01:14.800
their hand, because they dealt faithfully.

01:15.060 --> 01:19.560
And Hilkiah the high priest said unto
Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book

01:19.560 --> 01:21.800
of the law in the house of the Lord.

01:21.800 --> 01:24.720
And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan,
and he read it.

01:25.720 --> 01:29.260
And Shaphan the scribe came to the king,
and brought the king word again,

01:29.560 --> 01:33.120
and said, Thy servants have gathered the
money that was found in the house,

01:33.600 --> 01:37.680
and have delivered it into the hand of
them that do the work, that have the

01:37.680 --> 01:39.400
oversight of the house of the Lord.

01:39.660 --> 01:44.020
And Shaphan the scribe showed the king,
saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered

01:44.020 --> 01:44.580
me a book.

01:44.780 --> 01:46.500
And Shaphan read it before the king.

01:47.180 --> 01:50.920
And it came to pass, when the king had
heard the words of the book of the law,

01:50.920 --> 01:52.760
that he rent his clothes.

01:53.140 --> 01:57.320
And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest,
and Ahicham the son of Shaphan,

01:57.700 --> 02:02.640
and Achbor the son of Micaiah,
and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a

02:02.640 --> 02:07.400
servant of the king's, saying,
Go ye, inquire of the Lord for me,

02:07.720 --> 02:12.300
and for the people, and for all Judah,
concerning the words of this book that is

02:12.300 --> 02:12.700
found.

02:13.700 --> 02:16.860
For great is the wrath of the Lord that is
kindled against us.

02:17.500 --> 02:22.180
Because our fathers have not hearkened
unto the words of this book, to do

02:22.180 --> 02:25.760
according unto all that which is written
concerning us.

02:25.980 --> 02:30.980
So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahicham,
and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah,

02:31.480 --> 02:35.520
went unto Huldah the prophetess,
the wife of Shalom, the son of Tikva,

02:35.760 --> 02:38.000
the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe.

02:38.420 --> 02:40.380
Now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college.

02:40.800 --> 02:42.060
And they communed with her.

02:42.580 --> 02:48.440
And she said unto them, Thus saith the
Lord God of Israel, Tell the man that sent

02:48.440 --> 02:55.340
you to me, Thus saith the Lord,
Behold, I will bring evil upon this place,

02:55.780 --> 03:01.360
and upon the inhabitants thereof,
even all the words of the book which the

03:01.360 --> 03:03.020
king of Judah hath read.

03:03.720 --> 03:08.760
Because they have forsaken me,
and have burned incense unto other gods,

03:08.760 --> 03:14.080
that they might provoke me to anger with
all the works of their hands.

03:14.880 --> 03:20.940
Therefore, my wrath shall be kindled
against this place, and shall not be

03:20.940 --> 03:21.460
quenched.

03:22.540 --> 03:28.280
But to the king of Judah which sent you to
inquire of the Lord, thus shall ye say to

03:28.280 --> 03:35.380
him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel,
As touching the words which thou hast

03:35.380 --> 03:42.160
heard, Because thine heart was tender,
and thou hast humbled thyself before the

03:42.160 --> 03:47.480
Lord, when thou heardest what I spake
against this place, and against the

03:47.480 --> 03:52.500
inhabitants thereof, that they should
become a desolation, and a curse,

03:52.860 --> 03:59.460
and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before
me, I also have heard thee, saith the

03:59.460 --> 03:59.760
Lord.

04:00.240 --> 04:06.380
Behold, therefore, I will gather thee unto
thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered

04:06.380 --> 04:13.520
into thy grave in peace, and thine eye
shall not see all the evil which I will

04:13.520 --> 04:15.020
bring upon this place.

04:15.380 --> 04:17.140
And they brought the king word again.
