2 Chronicles 34:1-33

Josiah
<02977>
[was] eight
<08083>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,
and he reigned
<04427> (8804)
in Jerusalem
<03389>
one
<0259>
and thirty
<07970>
years
<08141>_.
And he did
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] right
<03477>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and walked
<03212> (8799)
in the ways
<01870>
of David
<01732>
his father
<01>_,
and declined
<05493> (8804)
[neither] to the right hand
<03225>_,
nor to the left
<08040>_.
For in the eighth
<08083>
year
<08141>
of his reign
<04427> (8800)_,
while he was yet young
<05288>_,
he began
<02490> (8689)
to seek
<01875> (8800)
after the God
<0430>
of David
<01732>
his father
<01>_:
and in the twelfth
<08147> <06240>
year
<08141>
he began
<02490> (8689)
to purge
<02891> (8763)
Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>
from the high places
<01116>_,
and the groves
<0842>_,
and the carved images
<06456>_,
and the molten images
<04541>_.
And they brake down
<05422> (8762)
the altars
<04196>
of Baalim
<01168>
in his presence
<06440>_;
and the images
<02553>_,
that [were] on high above them
<04605>_,
he cut down
<01438> (8765)_;
and the groves
<0842>_,
and the carved images
<06456>_,
and the molten images
<04541>_,
he brake in pieces
<07665> (8765)_,
and made dust
<01854> (8689)
[of them], and strowed
<02236> (8799)
[it] upon
<06440>
the graves
<06913>
of them that had sacrificed
<02076> (8802)
unto them. {the images: or, the sun images} {graves: Heb. face of the graves}
And he burnt
<08313> (8804)
the bones
<06106>
of the priests
<03548>
upon their altars
<04196>_,
and cleansed
<02891> (8762)
Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And [so did he] in the cities
<05892>
of Manasseh
<04519>_,
and Ephraim
<0669>_,
and Simeon
<08095>_,
even unto Naphtali
<05321>_,
with their mattocks
<02719>
round about
<05439>_.
{mattocks: or, mauls}
And when he had broken down
<05422> (8762)
the altars
<04196>
and the groves
<0842>_,
and had beaten
<03807> (8765)
the graven images
<06456>
into powder
<01854> (8687)_,
and cut down
<01438> (8765)
all the idols
<02553>
throughout all the land
<0776>
of Israel
<03478>_,
he returned
<07725> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_.
{into...: Heb. to make powder}
Now in the eighteenth
<08083> <06240>
year
<08141>
of his reign
<04427> (8800)_,
when he had purged
<02891> (8763)
the land
<0776>_,
and the house
<01004>_,
he sent
<07971> (8804)
Shaphan
<08227>
the son
<01121>
of Azaliah
<0683>_,
and Maaseiah
<04641>
the governor
<08269>
of the city
<05892>_,
and Joah
<03098>
the son
<01121>
of Joahaz
<03099>
the recorder
<02142> (8688)_,
to repair
<02388> (8763)
the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>_.
And when they came
<0935> (8799)
to Hilkiah
<02518>
the high
<01419>
priest
<03548>_,
they delivered
<05414> (8799)
the money
<03701>
that was brought
<0935> (8716)
into the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_,
which the Levites
<03881>
that kept
<08104> (8802)
the doors
<05592>
had gathered
<0622> (8804)
of the hand
<03027>
of Manasseh
<04519>
and Ephraim
<0669>_,
and of all the remnant
<07611>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and of all Judah
<03063>
and Benjamin
<01144>_;
and they returned
<07725> (8799) (8675) <03427> (8802)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And they put
<05414> (8799)
[it] in the hand
<03027>
of the workmen
<06213> (8802) <04399>
that had the oversight
<06485> (8716)
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and they gave
<05414> (8799)
it to the workmen
<06213> (8802) <04399>
that wrought
<06213> (8802)
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
to repair
<0918> (8800)
and amend
<02388> (8763)
the house
<01004>_:
Even to the artificers
<02796>
and builders
<01129> (8802)
gave
<05414> (8799)
they [it], to buy
<07069> (8800)
hewn
<04274>
stone
<068>_,
and timber
<06086>
for couplings
<04226>_,
and to floor
<07136> (8763)
the houses
<01004>
which the kings
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
had destroyed
<07843> (8689)_.
{to floor: or, to rafter}
And the men
<0582>
did
<06213> (8802)
the work
<04399>
faithfully
<0530>_:
and the overseers
<05329> (8763)
of them [were] Jahath
<03189>
and Obadiah
<05662>_,
the Levites
<03881>_,
of the sons
<01121>
of Merari
<04847>_;
and Zechariah
<02148>
and Meshullam
<04918>_,
of the sons of the Kohathites
<06956>_,
to set [it] forward
<06485> (8716)_;
and [other of] the Levites
<03881>_,
all that could skill
<0995> (8688)
of instruments
<03627>
of musick
<07892>_.
Also [they were] over the bearers of burdens
<05449>_,
and [were] overseers
<05329> (8764)
of all that wrought
<06213> (8802)
the work
<04399>
in any manner of service
<05656>_:
and of the Levites
<03881>
[there were] scribes
<05608> (8802)_,
and officers
<07860> (8802)_,
and porters
<07778>_.
And when they brought out
<03318> (8687)
the money
<03701>
that was brought into
<0935> (8716)
the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
Hilkiah
<02518>
the priest
<03548>
found
<04672> (8804)
a book
<05612>
of the law
<08451>
of the LORD
<03068>
[given] by
<03027>
Moses
<04872>_.
{by: Heb. by the hand of}
And Hilkiah
<02518>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)
to Shaphan
<08227>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,
I have found
<04672> (8804)
the book
<05612>
of the law
<08451>
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And Hilkiah
<02518>
delivered
<05414> (8799)
the book
<05612>
to Shaphan
<08227>_.
And Shaphan
<08227>
carried
<0935> (8686)
the book
<05612>
to the king
<04428>_,
and brought
<07725> (0)
the king
<04428>
word
<01697>
back
<07725> (8686)
again, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
All that was committed
<05414> (8738)
to
<03027>
thy servants
<05650>_,
they do
<06213> (8802)
[it]. {to thy...: Heb. to the hand of, etc}
And they have gathered together
<05413> (8686)
the money
<03701>
that was found
<04672> (8737)
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and have delivered
<05414> (8799)
it into the hand
<03027>
of the overseers
<06485> (8716)_,
and to the hand
<03027>
of the workmen
<06213> (8802) <04399>_.
{gathered together: Heb. poured out, or, melted}
Then Shaphan
<08227>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)
told
<05046> (8686)
the king
<04428>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Hilkiah
<02518>
the priest
<03548>
hath given
<05414> (8804)
me a book
<05612>_.
And Shaphan
<08227>
read
<07121> (8799)
it before
<06440>
the king
<04428>_.
{it: Heb. in it}
And it came to pass, when the king
<04428>
had heard
<08085> (8800)
the words
<01697>
of the law
<08451>_,
that he rent
<07167> (8799)
his clothes
<0899>_.
And the king
<04428>
commanded
<06680> (8762)
Hilkiah
<02518>_,
and Ahikam
<0296>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphan
<08227>_,
and Abdon
<05658>
the son
<01121>
of Micah
<04318>_,
and Shaphan
<08227>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,
and Asaiah
<06222>
a servant
<05650>
of the king's
<04428>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
{Abdon: or, Achbor}
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
enquire
<01875> (8798)
of the LORD
<03068>
for me, and for them that are left
<07604> (8737)
in Israel
<03478>
and in Judah
<03063>_,
concerning the words
<01697>
of the book
<05612>
that is found
<04672> (8738)_:
for great
<01419>
[is] the wrath
<02534>
of the LORD
<03068>
that is poured out
<05413> (8738)
upon us, because our fathers
<01>
have not kept
<08104> (8804)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
to do
<06213> (8800)
after all that is written
<03789> (8803)
in this book
<05612>_.
And Hilkiah
<02518>_,
and [they] that the king
<04428>
[had appointed], went
<03212> (8799)
to Huldah
<02468>
the prophetess
<05031>_,
the wife
<0802>
of Shallum
<07967>
the son
<01121>
of Tikvath
<08616> (8676) <08445>_,
the son
<01121>
of Hasrah
<02641>_,
keeper
<08104> (8802)
of the wardrobe
<0899>_;
(now she dwelt
<03427> (8802)
in Jerusalem
<03389>
in the college
<04932>:)
and they spake
<01696> (8762)
to her to that [effect]. {Hasrah: also called, Harhas} {wardrobe: Heb. garments} {in the college: or, in the school, or, in the second part}
And she answered
<0559> (8799)
them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Tell
<0559> (8798)
ye the man
<0376>
that sent
<07971> (8804)
you to me,
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 curses
<0423>
that are written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>
which they have read
<07121> (8804)
before
<06440>
the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_:
Because they have forsaken
<05800> (8804)
me, and have burned incense
<06999> (8762) (8675) <06999> (8686)
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 poured out
<05413> (8799)
upon this place
<04725>_,
and shall not be quenched
<03518> (8799)_.
And as for
<0413>
the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
who sent
<07971> (8802)
you to enquire
<01875> (8800)
of the LORD
<03068>_,
so shall ye say
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
[concerning] the words
<01697>
which thou hast heard
<08085> (8804)_;
Because thine heart
<03824>
was tender
<07401> (8804)_,
and thou didst humble
<03665> (8735)
thyself before
<06440>
God
<0430>_,
when thou heardest
<08085> (8800)
his words
<01697>
against this place
<04725>_,
and against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
thereof, and humbledst
<03665> (8735)
thyself before
<06440>
me, and didst rend
<07167> (8799)
thy clothes
<0899>_,
and weep
<01058> (8799)
before
<06440>
me; I have even heard
<08085> (8804)
[thee] also, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Behold, I will gather
<0622> (8802)
thee to thy fathers
<01>_,
and thou shalt be gathered
<0622> (8738)
to thy grave
<06913>
in peace
<07965>_,
neither shall thine eyes
<05869>
see
<07200> (8799)
all the evil
<07451>
that I will bring
<0935> (8688)
upon this place
<04725>_,
and upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the same. So they brought
<07725> (0)
the king
<04428>
word
<01697>
again
<07725> (8686)_.
Then the king
<04428>
sent
<07971> (8799)
and gathered together
<0622> (8799)
all the elders
<02205>
of Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_.
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 the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and the priests
<03548>_,
and the Levites
<03881>_,
and all the people
<05971>_,
great
<01419>
and small
<06996>_:
and he read
<07121> (8799)
in their ears
<0241>
all the words
<01697>
of the book
<05612>
of the covenant
<01285>
that was found
<04672> (8737)
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
{great...: Heb. from great even to small}
And the king
<04428>
stood
<05975> (8799)
in his place
<05977>_,
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
<02706>_,
with all his heart
<03824>_,
and with all his soul
<05315>_,
to perform
<06213> (8800)
the words
<01697>
of the covenant
<01285>
which are written
<03789> (8803)
in this book
<05612>_.
And he caused all that were present
<04672> (8737)
in Jerusalem
<03389>
and Benjamin
<01144>
to stand
<05975> (8686)
[to it]. And the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>
did
<06213> (8799)
according to the covenant
<01285>
of God
<0430>_,
the God
<0430>
of their fathers
<01>_.
{present: Heb. found}
And Josiah
<02977>
took away
<05493> (8686)
all the abominations
<08441>
out of all the countries
<0776>
that [pertained] to the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and made all that were present
<04672> (8737)
in Israel
<03478>
to serve
<05647> (8686)_,
[even] to serve
<05647> (8800)
the LORD
<03068>
their God
<0430>_.
[And] all his days
<03117>
they departed
<05493> (8804)
not from following
<0310>
the LORD
<03068>_,
the God
<0430>
of their fathers
<01>_.
{present: Heb. found} {from...: Heb. from after}
