15 Because they have done that which was evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day.

3 And it came to pass. 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 the LORD, saying,

4 Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the silver d which is brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers f of the 1 door have gathered of the people:

5 And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD and let them give it to the doers of the work which is in the house of the LORD, to repair the breaches of the house,

6 Unto carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone, to repair the house.

7 Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.

S And Hilkiah the priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.

9 And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have 4 gathered the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD.

10 And Shaphau the scribe shewed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath de livered me a book. And Shaphan read p it before the king.

11 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent r his clothes.

12 And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan,and Achbors the son of 5 Michaiali, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a servant of the king's, saying,

13 Go ye, inquire u of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found for great u is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do y according unto all that which is written concerning us.

14 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, z the son of 6 Harhas,keeper of the 7 wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem 8 in the college;) and they communed with her.

15 And she said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me,

16 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I wik bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah 2Ch 34.1,&c hath read: cDe.29.25,&c. 17 Because c they have forsaken me, an Ne.9.26,27. have burnt incense unto other gols, " Da.9.11-14. they might provoke me to anger with the works of their hands; therefore wrath shall be kindled against this pi

10 And he defiled Topheth, e which is in the valley d of the children of Hin. nom, e that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.

11 And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain.which was in the suburbs, and burnt the chariots of the sun

with fire.

12 And the altars that were on the m top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which o Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD did the king beat down, and 2 brake them down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.

13 And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of 3 the mount of Corruption, which Solomon q the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.

14 And he brakes in pieces the 5 images, and cut down the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.

15 Moreover, the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place u which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he brake down, and burnt the high place, and stamped it small to powder, and burnt the grove.

16 And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burnt them upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word w of the LORD, which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.

17 Then he said, What title is that that I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of x God which came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Beth-el.

18 And he said, Let him alone; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones 9 alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.

19 And all the houses also of the high places that were y in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the LORD to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Beth-el.

20 And he slew a all the priests of the high places that were there upon the altars, and burnt men's bones c upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.

21 And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto the LORD your God, as it is written e in the book of this covenant.

13 And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD z had said.

22 And i as for the people that remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler.

23 And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah gov ernor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiab the son of Tanhumeth the 'Netophathite and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.

24 And Gedaliah sware to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it shall be well with you.. 25 But n it came to pass, in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed 8 royal, came, and ten men with him, and sniote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah.
