V.1 Josiah 2977 [was] eight 8083 years 8141 old 1121 when he began to reign, 4427-2 and he reigned 4427-1 in Jerusalem 3389 one 259 and thirty 7970 years. 8141

34:2 And he did 6213-4 [that which was] right 3477 in the sight 5869 of the LORD, 3068 and walked 3212-4 in the ways 1870 of David 1732 his father, 1 and declined 5493-1 [neither] to the right hand, 3225 nor to the left. 8040

34:3 For in the eighth 8083 year 8141 of his reign, 4427-2 while he was yet young, 5288 he began 2490-52 to seek 1875-2 after the God 430 of David 1732 his father: 1 and in the twelfth 8147 6240 year 8141 he began 2490-52 to purge 2891-15 Judah 3063 and Jerusalem 3389 from the high places, 1116 and the groves, 842 and the carved images, 6456 and the molten images. 4541

34:4 And they brake down 5422-17 the altars 4196 of Baalim 1168 in his presence; 6440 and the images, 2553 that [were] on high above them, 4605 he cut down; 1438-14 and the groves, 842 and the carved images, 6456 and the molten images, 4541 he brake in pieces, 7665-14 and made dust 1854-52 [of them], and strowed 2236-4 [it] upon 6440 the graves 6913 of them that had sacrificed 2076-6 unto them.

34:5 And he burnt 8313-1 the bones 6106 of the priests 3548 upon their altars, 4196 and cleansed 2891-17 Judah 3063 and Jerusalem. 3389

34:6 And [so did he] in the cities 5892 of Manasseh, 4519 and Ephraim, 669 and Simeon, 8095 even unto Naphtali, 5321 with their mattocks 2719 round about. 5439

34:7 And when he had broken down 5422-17 the altars 4196 and the groves, 842 and had beaten 3807-14 the graven images 6456 into powder, 1854-53 and cut down 1438-14 all the idols 2553 throughout all the land 776 of Israel, 3478 he returned 7725- 4 to Jerusalem. 3389

34:8 Now in the eighteenth 8083 6240 year 8141 of his reign, 4427-2 when he had purged 2891-15 the land, 776 and the house, 1004 he sent 7971-1 Shaphan 8227 the son 1121 of Azaliah, 683 and Maaseiah 4641 the governor 8269 of the city, 5892 and Joah 3098 the son 1121 of Joahaz 3099 the recorder, 2142-56 to repair 2388-15 the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 his God. 430

34:9 And when they came 935-4 to Hilkiah 2518 the high 1419 priest, 3548 they delivered 5414-4 the money 3701 that was brought into 935-94 the house 1004 of God, 430 which the Levites 3881 that kept 8104-6 the doors 5592 had gathered 622-1 of the hand 3027 of Manasseh 4519 and Ephraim, 669 and of all the remnant 7611 of Israel, 3478 and of all Judah 3063 and Benjamin; 1144 and they returned 7725-4|3427-6-k to Jerusalem. 3389

34:10 And they put 5414-4 [it] in the hand 3027 of the workmen 6213-6 4399 that had the oversight 6485-94 of the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 and they gave 5414-4 it to the workmen 6213-6 4399 that wrought 6213-6 in the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 to repair 918-2 and amend 2388-15 the house: 1004

34:11 Even to the artificers 2796 and builders 1129-6 gave 5414-4 they [it], to buy 7069-2 hewn 4274 stone, 68 and timber 6086 for couplings, 4226 and to floor 7136-15 the houses 1004 which the kings 4428 of Judah 3063 had destroyed. 7843-52

34:12 And the men 582 did 6213-6 the work 4399 faithfully: 530 and the overseers 6485-94 of them [were] Jahath 3189 and Obadiah, 5662 the Levites, 3881 of the sons 1121 of Merari; 4847 and Zechariah 2148 and Meshullam, 4918 of the sons 1121 of the Kohathites, 6956 to set [it] forward; 5329-15 and [other of] the Levites, 3881 all that could skill 995-56 of instruments 3627 of musick. 7892

34:13 Also [they were] over the bearers of burdens, 5449 and [were] overseers 5329-18 of all that wrought 6213-6 the work 4399 in any manner of service: 5656 5656 and of the Levites 3881 [there were] scribes, 5608-6 and officers, 7860-6 and porters. 7778

34:14 And when they brought out 3318-53 the money 3701 that was brought into 935-94 the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 Hilkiah 2518 the priest 3548 found 4672-1 a book 5612 of the law 8451 of the LORD 3068 [given] by 3027 Moses. 4872

34:15 And Hilkiah 2518 answered 6030-4 and said 559-4 to Shaphan 8227 the scribe, 5608-6 I have found 4672-1 the book 5612 of the law 8451 in the house 1004 of the LORD. 3068 And Hilkiah 2518 delivered 5414-4 the book 5612 to Shaphan. 8227

34:16 And Shaphan 8227 carried 935-55 the book 5612 to the king, 4428 and brought the king 4428 word 1697 back again, 7725-55 saying, 559-2 All that was committed 5414-8 to 3027 thy servants, 5650 they do 6213-6 [it].

34:17 And they have gathered together 5413-55 the money 3701 that was found 4672-12 in the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 and have delivered 5414-4 it into the hand 3027 of the overseers, 6485-94 and to the hand 3027 of the workmen. 6213- 6 4399

34:18 Then Shaphan 8227 the scribe 5608-6 told 5046-55 the king, 4428 saying, 559-2 Hilkiah 2518 the priest 3548 hath given 5414-1 me a book. 5612 And Shaphan 8227 read 7121-4 it before 6440 the king. 4428

34:19 And it came to pass, when the king 4428 had heard 8085- 2 the words 1697 of the law, 8451 that he rent 7167-4 his clothes. 899

34:20 And the king 4428 commanded 6680-17 Hilkiah, 2518 and Ahikam 296 the son 1121 of Shaphan, 8227 and Abdon 5658 the son 1121 of Micah, 4318 and Shaphan 8227 the scribe, 5608-6 and Asaiah 6222 a servant 5650 of the king's, 4428 saying, 559-2

34:21 Go, 3212-3 enquire 1875-3 of the LORD 3068 for me, and for them that are left 7604-12 in Israel 3478 and in Judah, 3063 concerning the words 1697 of the book 5612 that is found: 4672-8 for great 1419 [is] the wrath 2534 of the LORD 3068 that is poured out 5413-8 upon us, because our fathers 1 have not kept 8104-1 the word 1697 of the LORD, 3068 to do 6213-2 after all that is written 3789-7 in this book. 5612

34:22 And Hilkiah, 2518 and [they] that the king 4428 [had appointed], went 3212-4 to Huldah 2468 the prophetess, 5031 the wife 802 of Shallum 7967 the son 1121 of Tikvath, 8616|8445-q the son 1121 of Hasrah, 2641 keeper 8104-6 of the wardrobe; 899 (now she dwelt 3427-6 in Jerusalem 3389 in the college:) 4932 and they spake 1696-17 to her to that [effect].

34:23 And she answered 559-4 them, Thus saith 559-1 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel, 3478 Tell 559-3 ye the man 376 that sent 7971-1 you to me,

34:24 Thus saith 559-1 the LORD, 3068 Behold, I will bring 935-56 evil 7451 upon this place, 4725 and upon the inhabitants 3427-6 thereof, [even] all the curses 423 that are written 3789-7 in the book 5612 which they have read 7121-1 before 6440 the king 4428 of Judah: 3063

34:25 Because they have forsaken 5800-1 me, and have burned incense 6999-17|6999-55-k unto other 312 gods, 430 that they might provoke me to anger 3707-53 with all the works 4639 of their hands; 3027 therefore my wrath 2534 shall be poured out 5413-4 upon this place, 4725 and shall not be quenched. 3518- 4

34:26 And as for 413 the king 4428 of Judah, 3063 who sent 7971-6 you to enquire 1875-2 of the LORD, 3068 so shall ye say 559-4 unto him, Thus saith 559-1 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 [concerning] the words 1697 which thou hast heard; 8085-1

34:27 Because thine heart 3824 was tender, 7401-1 and thou didst humble 3665-11 thyself before 6440 God, 430 when thou heardest 8085-2 his words 1697 against this place, 4725 and against the inhabitants 3427-6 thereof, and humbledst 3665-11 thyself before 6440 me, and didst rend 7167-4 thy clothes, 899 and weep 1058-4 before 6440 me; I have even heard 8085-1 [thee] also, saith 5002-7 the LORD. 3068

34:28 Behold, I will gather 622-6 thee to thy fathers, 1 and thou shalt be gathered 622-8 to thy grave 6913 in peace, 7965 neither shall thine eyes 5869 see 7200-4 all the evil 7451 that I will bring 935-56 upon this place, 4725 and upon the inhabitants 3427-6 of the same. So they brought the king 4428 word 1697 again. 7725-55

34:29 Then the king 4428 sent 7971-4 and gathered 622-4 together all the elders 2205 of Judah 3063 and Jerusalem. 3389

34:30 And the king 4428 went up 5927-4 into the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 and all the men 376 of Judah, 3063 and the inhabitants 3427-6 of Jerusalem, 3389 and the priests, 3548 and the Levites, 3881 and all the people, 5971 great 1419 and small: 6996 and he read 7121-4 in their ears 241 all the words 1697 of the book 5612 of the covenant 1285 that was found 4672-12 in the house 1004 of the LORD. 3068

34:31 And the king 4428 stood 5975-4 in his place, 5977 and made 3772-4 a covenant 1285 before 6440 the LORD, 3068 to walk 3212-2 after 310 the LORD, 3068 and to keep 8104-2 his commandments, 4687 and his testimonies, 5715 and his statutes, 2706 with all his heart, 3824 and with all his soul, 5315 to perform 6213-2 the words 1697 of the covenant 1285 which are written 3789-7 in this book. 5612

34:32 And he caused all that were present 4672-12 in Jerusalem 3389 and Benjamin 1144 to stand 5975-55 [to it]. And the inhabitants 3427-6 of Jerusalem 3389 did 6213-4 according to the covenant 1285 of God, 430 the God 430 of their fathers. 1
