1Yoshiyahu was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Yerushalayim.

2He did what was pleasing to Hashem, following the ways of his father David without deviating to the right or to the left.

3In the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek the God of his father David, and in the twelfth year he began to purge Yehuda and Yerushalayim of the shrines, the sacred posts, the idols, and the molten images.

4At his bidding, they demolished the altars of the Baals, and he had the incense stands above them cut down; he smashed the sacred posts, the idols, and the images, ground them into dust, and strewed it onto the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.

5He burned the bones of Kohanim on their altars and purged Yehuda and Yerushalayim.

7he demolished the altars and the sacred posts and smashed the idols and ground them into dust; and he hewed down all the incense stands throughout the land of Yisrael. Then he returned to Yerushalayim.

8In the eighteenth year of his reign, after purging the land and the House, he commissioned Shafan son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah son of Joahaz the recorder to repair the House of Hashem his God.

9They came to the Kohen Gadol Chilkiyahu and delivered to him the silver brought to the House of Hashem, which the Leviim, the guards of the threshold, had collected from Menashe and Efraim and from all the remnant of Yisrael and from all Yehuda and Binyamin and the inhabitants of Yerushalayim.

10They delivered it into the custody of the overseers who were in charge at the House of Hashem, and the overseers who worked in the House of Hashem spent it on examining and repairing the House.

11They paid it out to the artisans and the masons to buy quarried stone and wood for the couplings and for making roof-beams for the buildings that the kings of Yehuda had allowed to fall into ruin.

12The men did the work honestly; over them were appointed the Leviim Jahath and Ovadya, of the sons of Merari, and Zecharya and Meshullam, of the sons of Kehat, to supervise; while other Leviim, all the master musicians,

14As they took out the silver that had been brought to the House of Hashem, the Kohen Chilkiyahu found a scroll of Hashem's Teaching given by Moshe.

15Chilkiyahu spoke up and said to the scribe Shafan, “I have found a scroll of the Teaching in the House of Hashem”; and Chilkiyahu gave the scroll to Shafan.

16Shafan brought the scroll to the king and also reported to the king, “All that was entrusted to your servants is being done;

18The scribe Shafan also told the king, “The Kohen Chilkiyahu has given me a scroll”; and Shafan read from it to the king.

19When the king heard the words of the Teaching, he tore his clothes.

20The king gave orders to Chilkiyahu, and Achikam son of Shafan, and Avdon son of Micha, and the scribe Shafan, and Asaiah the king's minister, saying,

21“Go, inquire of Hashem on my behalf and on behalf of those who remain in Yisrael and Yehuda concerning the words of the scroll that has been found, for great indeed must be the wrath of Hashem that has been poured down upon us because our fathers did not obey the word of Hashem and do all that is written in this scroll.”

22Chilkiyahu and those whom the king [had ordered] went to the Neviah Chulda, wife of Shalum son of Tokhath son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe, who was living in Yerushalayim in the Mishneh, and spoke to her accordingly.

23She responded to them: “Thus said God of Yisrael: Say to the man who sent you to Me,

26But say this to the king of Yehuda who sent you to inquire of Hashem: ‘Thus said God of Yisrael: As for the words which you have heard,

27since your heart was softened and you humbled yourself before Hashem when you heard His words concerning this place and its inhabitants, and you humbled yourself before Me and tore your clothes and wept before Me, I for My part have listened, declares Hashem.

28Assuredly, I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be laid in your grave in peace; your eyes shall see nothing of the disaster that I will bring upon this place and its inhabitants.'” They reported this back to the king.

30The king went up to the House of Hashem with all the men of Yehuda and the inhabitants of Yerushalayim and the Kohanim and the Leviim—all the people, young and old—and he read to them the entire text of the covenant scroll that was found in the House of Hashem.

31The king stood in his place and solemnized the covenant before Hashem: to follow Hashem and observe His commandments, His injunctions, and His laws with all his heart and soul, to fulfill all the terms of the covenant written in this scroll.
