Compare all
13 were aover the burden bearers and were overseers of all who did work in any kind of service. bAnd some of the Levites were scribes, officers, and gatekeepers.  
14 Now when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the Lord, Hilkiah the priest afound the Book of the Law of the Lord given by Moses.  
15 Then Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the Lord.” And Hilkiah gave the abook to Shaphan.  
16 So Shaphan carried the book to the king, bringing the king word, saying, “All that was committed to your servants they are doing.
17 And they have gathered the money that was found in the house of the Lord, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers and the workmen.”  
18 Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” And Shaphan read it before the king.
19 Thus it happened, when the king heard the words of the Law, that he tore his clothes.
20 Then the king commanded Hilkiah, aAhikam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king, saying,  
21 “Go, inquire of the Lord for me, and for those who are left in Israel and Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found; for great is the wrath of the Lord that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not akept the word of the Lord, to do according to all that is written in this book.”  
22 So Hilkiah and those the king had appointed went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe. (She dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter.) And they spoke to her to that effect.  
23 Then she answered them, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel, ‘Tell the man who sent you to Me,
24 “Thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will abring calamity on this place and on its inhabitants, all the curses that are written in the bbook which they have read before the king of Judah,  
25 because they have forsaken Me and burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands. Therefore My wrath will be poured out on this place, and not be quenched.’ ” ’
26 But as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the Lord, in this manner you shall speak to him, ‘Thus says the Lord God of Israel: “Concerning the words which you have heard—
27 because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before God when you heard His words against this place and against its inhabitants, and you humbled yourself before Me, and you tore your clothes and wept before Me, I also have heard you,” says the aLord.  
28 “Surely I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace; and your eyes shall not see all the calamity which I will bring on this place and its inhabitants.” ’ ” So they brought back word to the king.
