RF KI2 22:1 (B.C. 641.) Good Josiah Reigns over Israel.
Joshiah was eight years old at his coronation, and reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother was Jedidah, daughter of Adiah of Betzekath,
RF KI2 22:2 and he did right in the sight of the EVER-LIVING, and walked in all the paths of his ancestor David, and did not turn to the right or left.
RF KI2 22:3 (B.C. 624.) He Repairs the Temple.
It occurred in the eighteenth year of King Joshiah, that the king sent Shafan-ben-Atzaliah the Secretary to the House of the EVER-LIVING to say:
RF KI2 22:4 "Go to Hilkiah the High Priest, and let him keep the money coming into the House of the EVER-LIVING, separate from what they collect from the people,
RF KI2 22:5 and deposit it in the custody of Asaph,—the Accountant of the property of the House of the EVER-LIVING, to repair the dilapidations of the House;
RF KI2 22:6 to pay carpenters, and masons, and builders, and purchase timber, and dressed stone to repair the Temple."
RF KI2 22:7 However, he did not reckon with them for the money placed in their hands, for they acted faithfully.
RF KI2 22:8 (B.C. 624.) The Original plates of the law made by Moses found.
Then Hilkiah the High Priest said to Shafan the Secretary, "I have found THE BOOK—Book of the Law, 1 in the House of the EVER-LIVING." So Hilkiah gave the Book to Shafan when he met him,
RF KI2 22:9 and Shafan carried the Book to the king, when the king sat at business, and said, "Your Officers have collected the money found in the Temple and placed it in the custody of Asaph the Accountant of the property of the House of the EVER-LIVING."
RF KI2 22:10 Then Shafan showed the book to the king, and said, "Hilkiah the Priest gave me this Book," and Shafan read it before the king.
RF KI2 22:11 But when the king heard the contents of the Book of Law, he tore his robes,
RF KI2 22:12 and the king commanded Hilkiah the Priest, and Akhikam-ben-Shafan, and Akbur-ben-Mikiah, and Shafan the Secretary, and Asiah, the Attendant of the king, saying:—
RF KI2 22:13 "Go, enquire of the EVER-LIVING about me, and about the people, and about all Judah, in regard to the contents of this Book that has been found; for a great anger from the EVER-LIVING must be kindled against us, because our ancestors have not listened to the commands of this Book, or practiced all that was written for us!"
RF KI2 22:14 (B.C. 624.) Joshiah consults Huldah the Reciter.
Hilkiah, the Priest, and Akhikam, and Akbur, and Shafan and Ashiah, went therefore to Huldah the Reciter, the wife of Shalem-ben-Thignah-ben-Kharkhas, Keeper of the Robes, who resided in Jerusalem in the Second Rank of the Levites, and spoke to her, and she replied to them:—
RF KI2 22:15 "The EVER-LIVING GOD Of Israel says thus 'Say to the man who sent you to me:
RF KI2 22:16 Thus says the EVER-LIVING, I will bring misery upon this place, and upon its inhabitants, in accordance with the contents of the Book read to the king of Judah,
RF KI2 22:17 because they have abandoned Me, and offered incense to other gods to insult Me by all their practices, and to kindle My wrath with this place,—and it shall not be quenched.'
RF KI2 22:18 "'But to the king of Judah who sent you to enquire of the EVER-LIVING, say this to him: Thus says the EVER-LIVING GOD of Israel, about the words that you have heard,—
RF KI2 22:19 you opened a heart to consider them as from the EVER-LIVING, so that you may hear what I have spoken about this place, and against its inhabitants, for it shall become desolate, and despised. So you tore your robes and wept before Me,—and I have heard you also, says the EVER-LIVING,
RF KI2 22:20 therefore I will add you to your fathers, and you shall be added to your tomb in peace, and your eyes shall not see all the misery which I will bring upon this place.'" And they reported this answer to the king.
—————
1 The reading in the Hebrew, as I take it, is far stronger than in the common translations, whether of the Septuagint and Vulgate, or the English Authorized and Revised Versions, who only give "the Book," or "a Book of the Law." The Hebrew text I would read as "The Book—Book of the Law," that is, in the English Idiom, "The ORIGINAL Book of the Law," the autograph copy engraved by Moses and placed in the Ark, under his order, by Aliazar the High Priest, while the Army of Joshua was encamped in Moab, previous to passing from the eastern side of the Jordan to invade Canaan on its west. See Deuteronomy, Ch. 31, v. 24.—F.F.
