Contextual Overview
14 While bringing out the money that had been brought into the house of Adonai , Hilkiyahu the cohen found the scroll of the Torah of Adonai given by Moshe. 15 Hilkiyahu said to Shafan the secretary, "I have found the scroll of the Torah in the house of Adonai ." Hilkiyahu gave the scroll to Shafan. 16 Shafan the secretary brought the scroll to the king. Turning to the king, he gave him this report: "Your servants are doing everything you ordered them to do. 17 They have poured out the money found in the house of Adonai and handed it over to the supervisors and workers." 18 Then Shafan the secretary told the king, "Hilkiyahu the cohen hagadol gave me a scroll." Shafan read it aloud before the king. 19 After the king had heard what was written in the Torah, he tore his clothes. 20 Then the king issued this order to Hilkiyahu, Achikam the son of Shafan, ‘Avdon the son of Mikhah, Shafan the secretary and ‘Asayah the king's servant: 21 "Go, and consult Adonai for me and for the people left in Isra'el and Y'hudah in regard to what is written in this scroll which has been found. For Adonai must be furious at us, since our ancestors did not observe the word of Adonai and do everything written in this scroll." 22 So Hilkiyahu and those the king had ordered went to Huldah the prophet, the wife of Shalum the son of Tok'hat, the son of Hasrat, keeper of the wardrobe — she lived in the Second Quarter of Yerushalayim — and spoke with her about this. 23 She told them, " Adonai the God of Isra'el says to tell the man who sent you to me
