his abba Menashsheh did.
21 And he had his halacha in all the halachot that his abba
walked in, and served the idols that his abba served, and
worshipped them:
22 And he forsook vuvh Elohim of his ahvot, and did not
have his halacha in the derech of vuvh.
23 And the avadim of Amon conspired against him, and
killed the melech in his own bayit.
24 And the people of the land killed all them that had
conspired against melech Amon; and the people of the
land made Yoshiyahu his son melech in his place.
25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon that he did, are they
not written in the Scroll of the Divre HaYamim about the
melechim of Yahudah?
26 And he was buried in his tomb in the gan of Uzza: and
Yoshiyahu his son reigned in his place.
22 Yoshiyahu was eight years old when he began to
reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Yahrushalayim.
And his eema's name was Yedidah, the daughter of
Adayah of Botscath.
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of vuvh,
and had his halacha in all the derech of Dawid his abba,
and turned not aside to the right hand, or to the left.
3 And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of melech
Yoshiyahu, that the melech sent Shaphan the son of
Azalyah, the son of Meshullam, the Sopher, to the Bayit
of vuvh, saying,
4 Go up to Hilkiyahu the Kohen HaGadol, that he may
weigh the silver that is brought into the Bayit of vuvh,
which the doorkeepers have gathered from the people:
5 And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the
work; that have the oversight of the Bayit of vuvh: and let
them give it to the doers of the work which is in the Bayit
of vuvh, to repair the damages of the bayit,
6 Unto the carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to
buy timber and cut stone to repair the bayit.
7 However there was no accounting made with them of
the silver that was delivered into their hand, because they
acted faithfully.
8 And Hilkiyahu the Kohen HaGadol said to Shaphan the
Sopher, I have found the scroll of the Torah in the Bayit
of vuvh. And Hilkiyahu gave the scroll to Shaphan, and
he read it.
9 And Shaphan the Sopher came to the melech, and
brought the melech word again, and said, Your avadim
have gathered the silver that was found in the bayit, and
have delivered it into the hand of those that do the work,
that have the oversight of the Bayit of vuvh.
10 And Shaphan the Sopher showed the melech, saying,
Hilkiyahu the kohen has delivered to me a scroll. And
Shaphan read it before the melech.
11 And it came to pass, when the melech had heard the
words of the scroll of the Torah, that he tore his clothes.
12 And the melech commanded Hilkiyahu the kohen, and
Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achvor the son of
Michayah, and Shaphan the Sopher, and Asayah an eved
of the melech, saying,
13 Go, inquire of vuvh for me, and for the people, and for
all Yahudah, concerning the words of this scroll that is
found: for great is the wrath of vuvh that is lit against us,
because our ahvot have not listened to the words of this
scroll, to do according to all that which is written
MELECHIM BET - SECOND KINGS
- 267 -
concerning us.
14 So Hilkiyahu the kohen, and Ahikam, and Achvor, and
Shaphan, and Asayah, went to Huldah the neviyah, the
wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas,
keeper of the wardrobe (now she dwelt in Yahrushalayim
studying Torah), 1011 and they communed with her.
15 And she said to them, This says vuvh Elohim of
Yisrael, Tell the man that sent you to Me,
16 This says vuvh, See, I will bring evil upon this place,
and upon the inhabitants of it, even all the words of the
scroll that the melech of Yahudah has read:
17 Because they have forsaken Me, and have burned
incense to other elohim, that they might provoke Me to
anger with all the works of their hands; therefore My
wrath shall be lit against this place, and shall not be
quenched.
18 But to the melech of Yahudah who sent you to inquire
of vuvh, this shall you say to him, This says vuvh Elohim
of Yisrael, about the words which you have heard;
19 Because your lev was tender, and you have humbled
yourself before vuvh, when you heard what I spoke
against this place, and against the inhabitants of it, that
they should become a desolation and a curse, and have
torn your clothes, and wept before Me; I also have heard
you, says vuvh.
20 See therefore, I will gather you to your ahvot, and you
shall be gathered into your grave in shalom; and your
eyes shall not see all the evil that I will bring upon this
place. And they brought the melech word again.
23
And the melech sent, and they gathered to him all the
zechanim of Yahudah and of Yahrushalayim.
2 And the melech went up into the Bayit of vuvh, and all
the men of Yahudah and all the inhabitants of
Yahrushalayim with him, and the Kohanim, and the
neviim, and all the people, both small and great: and he
read in their ears all the words of the scroll of the brit
which was found in the Bayit of vuvh.
3 And the melech stood by a pillar, and made a brit before
vuvh, to have his halacha in the halachot of vuvh, and to
keep His mitzvoth and His mishpatim and His chukim
with all His lev and all His being, to perform the words of
this brit that were written in this scroll. And all the people
agreed to the brit.
4 And the melech commanded Hilkiyahu the Kohen
HaGadol, and the Kohanim of the second order, and the
keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the Hekal of
vuvh all the vessels that were made for Ba’al, and for the
Asherah, and for all the hosts of the shamayim: and he
burned them outside of Yahrushalayim in the fields of
Kidron, and carried the ashes of them to Beth-El.
5 And he put down the idolatrous black robed Kohanim,
1012
whom the melechim of Yahudah had ordained to
burn incense in the idol temples in the cities of Yahudah,
and in the places around Yahrushalayim; those also that
burned incense to Ba’al, to the sun, and to the moon and
to the planets, and to all the hosts of the shamayim.
6 And he brought out the Asherah from the Bayit of vuvh,
outside Yahrushalayim, to the brook Kidron, and burned
it at the brook Kidron, and ground it to small powder, and
cast the powder upon the graves of the children of the
people.
