King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. Josiah[H2977] was eight[H8083] years[H8141] old[H1121] when he began to reign,[H4427] and he reigned[H4427] thirty[H7970] and one[H259] years[H8141] in Jerusalem.[H3389] And his mother's[H517] name[H8034] was Jedidah,[H3040] the daughter[H1323] of Adaiah[H5718] of Boscath.[H4480] [H1218]

2. And he did[H6213] that which was right[H3477] in the sight[H5869] of the LORD,[H3068] and walked[H1980] in all[H3605] the way[H1870] of David[H1732] his father,[H1] and turned not aside[H3808] [H5493] to the right hand[H3225] or to the left.[H8040]

3. And it came to pass[H1961] in the eighteenth[H8083] [H6240] year[H8141] of king[H4428] Josiah,[H2977] that the king[H4428] sent[H7971] [H853] Shaphan[H8227] the son[H1121] of Azaliah,[H683] the son[H1121] of Meshullam,[H4918] the scribe,[H5608] to the house[H1004] of the LORD,[H3068] saying,[H559]

4. Go up[H5927] to[H413] Hilkiah[H2518] the high[H1419] priest,[H3548] that he may sum[H8552] [H853] the silver[H3701] which is brought[H935] into the house[H1004] of the LORD,[H3068] which[H834] the keepers[H8104] of the door[H5592] have gathered[H622] of[H4480] [H854] the people: [H5971]

5. And let them deliver[H5414] it into[H5921] the hand[H3027] of the doers[H6213] of the work,[H4399] that have the oversight[H6485] of the house[H1004] of the LORD:[H3068] and let them give[H5414] it to the doers[H6213] of the work[H4399] which[H834] is in the house[H1004] of the LORD,[H3068] to repair[H2388] the breaches[H919] of the house,[H1004]

6. Unto carpenters,[H2796] and builders,[H1129] and masons,[H1443] and to buy[H7069] timber[H6086] and hewn[H4274] stone[H68] to repair[H2388] [H853] the house.[H1004]

7. Howbeit[H389] there was no[H3808] reckoning[H2803] made with[H854] them of the money[H3701] that was delivered[H5414] into[H5921] their hand,[H3027] because[H3588] they[H1992] dealt[H6213] faithfully.[H530]

8. And Hilkiah[H2518] the high[H1419] priest[H3548] said[H559] unto[H5921] Shaphan[H8227] the scribe,[H5608] I have found[H4672] the book[H5612] of the law[H8451] in the house[H1004] of the LORD.[H3068] And Hilkiah[H2518] gave[H5414] [H853] the book[H5612] to[H413] Shaphan,[H8227] and he read[H7121] it.

9. And Shaphan[H8227] the scribe[H5608] came[H935] to[H413] the king,[H4428] and brought the king word again,[H7725] [H853] [H4428] [H1697] and said,[H559] Thy servants[H5650] have gathered[H5413] [H853] the money[H3701] that was found[H4672] in the house,[H1004] and have delivered[H5414] it into[H5921] the hand[H3027] of them that do[H6213] the work,[H4399] that have the oversight[H6485] of the house[H1004] of the LORD.[H3068]

10. And Shaphan[H8227] the scribe[H5608] showed[H5046] the king,[H4428] saying,[H559] Hilkiah[H2518] the priest[H3548] hath delivered[H5414] me a book.[H5612] And Shaphan[H8227] read[H7121] it before[H6440] the king.[H4428]

11. And it came to pass,[H1961] when the king[H4428] had heard[H8085] [H853] the words[H1697] of the book[H5612] of the law,[H8451] that he rent[H7167] [H853] his clothes.[H899]

12. And the king[H4428] commanded[H6680] [H853] Hilkiah[H2518] the priest,[H3548] and Ahikam[H296] the son[H1121] of Shaphan,[H8227] and Achbor[H5907] the son[H1121] of Michaiah,[H4320] and Shaphan[H8227] the scribe,[H5608] and Asahiah[H6222] a servant[H5650] of the king's,[H4428] saying,[H559]

13. Go[H1980] ye, inquire[H1875] of[H853] the LORD[H3068] for[H1157] me, and for[H1157] the people,[H5971] and for[H1157] all[H3605] Judah,[H3063] concerning[H5921] the words[H1697] of this[H2088] book[H5612] that is found:[H4672] for[H3588] great[H1419] is the wrath[H2534] of the LORD[H3068] that[H834] is kindled[H3341] against us, because[H5921] [H834] our fathers[H1] have not[H3808] hearkened[H8085] unto[H5921] the words[H1697] of this[H2088] book,[H5612] to do[H6213] according unto all[H3605] that which is written[H3789] concerning[H5921] us.

14. So Hilkiah[H2518] the priest,[H3548] and Ahikam,[H296] and Achbor,[H5907] and Shaphan,[H8227] and Asahiah,[H6222] went[H1980] unto[H413] Huldah[H2468] the prophetess,[H5031] the wife[H802] of Shallum[H7967] the son[H1121] of Tikvah,[H8616] the son[H1121] of Harhas,[H2745] keeper[H8104] of the wardrobe;[H899] (now she[H1931] dwelt[H3427] in Jerusalem[H3389] in the college;)[H4932] and they communed[H1696] with[H413] her.

15. And she said[H559] unto[H413] them, Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of Israel,[H3478] Tell[H559] the man[H376] that[H834] sent[H7971] you to[H413] me,

16. Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD,[H3068] Behold,[H2009] I will bring[H935] evil[H7451] upon[H413] this[H2088] place,[H4725] and upon[H5921] the inhabitants[H3427] thereof, even[H853] all[H3605] the words[H1697] of the book[H5612] which[H834] the king[H4428] of Judah[H3063] hath read: [H7121]

17. Because[H8478] [H834] they have forsaken[H5800] me, and have burned incense[H6999] unto other[H312] gods,[H430] that[H4616] they might provoke me to anger[H3707] with all[H3605] the works[H4639] of their hands;[H3027] therefore my wrath[H2534] shall be kindled[H3341] against this[H2088] place,[H4725] and shall not[H3808] be quenched.[H3518]

18. But to[H413] the king[H4428] of Judah[H3063] which sent[H7971] you to inquire[H1875] of[H853] the LORD,[H3068] thus[H3541] shall ye say[H559] to[H413] him, Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of Israel,[H3478] As touching the words[H1697] which[H834] thou hast heard;[H8085]

19. Because[H3282] thine heart[H3824] was tender,[H7401] and thou hast humbled thyself[H3665] before[H4480] [H6440] the LORD,[H3068] when thou heardest[H8085] what[H834] I spoke[H1696] against[H5921] this[H2088] place,[H4725] and against[H5921] the inhabitants[H3427] thereof, that they should become[H1961] a desolation[H8047] and a curse,[H7045] and hast rent[H7167] [H853] thy clothes,[H899] and wept[H1058] before[H6440] me; I[H595] also[H1571] have heard[H8085] thee, saith[H5002] the LORD.[H3068]

20. Behold[H2009] therefore,[H3651] I will gather[H622] thee unto[H5921] thy fathers,[H1] and thou shalt be gathered[H622] into[H413] thy grave[H6913] in peace;[H7965] and thine eyes[H5869] shall not[H3808] see[H7200] all[H3605] the evil[H7451] which[H834] I[H589] will bring[H935] upon[H5921] this[H2088] place.[H4725] And they brought[H7725] [H853] the king[H4428] word[H1697] again.
