Contextual Overview

14 When they were bringing out the money which had been brought into the Lord's house, Hilkiah the religious leader found the book of the Law of the Lord given by Moses. 15 Hilkiah told Shaphan the writer, "I have found the book of the Law in the Lord's house." And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan. 16 Then Shaphan brought the book to the king, and said to him, "Your servants are doing all the work that they have been given to do. 17 They have taken all the money that was found in the Lord's house and have given it to the leaders and the workmen." 18 Then Shaphan the writer said to the king, "Hilkiah the religious leader gave me a book." And Shaphan read it in front of the king. 19 When King Josiah heard the words of the Law, he tore his clothes. 20 Then the king called Hilkiah, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the writer, and Asaiah the king's servant. He told them, 21 "Go, ask the Lord for me, and for those who are left in Israel and Judah, about the words of the book which have been found. For much of the Lord's anger has been poured out on us because our fathers have not obeyed the Word of the Lord. They have not done all that is written in this book." 22 So Hilkiah and those whom the king had sent went to Huldah the woman who spoke for God. She was the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, who watched over the clothing. (She lived in Jerusalem in the second part of the city.)
