Chapter 34
Iosiah
was
eight
yeeres
old
when
hee
beganne
to
reigne,
and
he
reigned
in
Ierusalem
one
and
thirty
yeeres.
2
And
he
did
that
which
was
right
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord,
and
walked
in
the
wayes
of
Dauid
his
father,
and
declined
neither
to
the
right
hand
nor
to
the
left.
3
For
in
the
eight
yeare
of
his
reigne,
while
he
was
yet
young,
hee
beganne
to
seeke
after
the
God
of
Dauid
his
father:
and
in
the
twelfth
yeere
hee
beganne
to
purge
Iudah
and
Ierusalem
from
the
high
places
and
the
groues,
and
the
carued
images,
and
the
molten
images.
4
And
they
brake
downe
the
altars
of
Baalim
in
his
presence,
and
the
images
that
were
on
high
aboue
them,
he
cut
downe,
and
the
groues,
and
the
carued
images,
and
the
molten
images
he
brake
in
peeces,
and
made
dust
of
them,
and
strowed
it
vpon
the
graues
of
them,
that
had
sacrificed
vnto
them.
5
And
hee
burnt
the
bones
of
the
priests
vpon
their
altars,
and
cleansed
Iudah
and
Ierusalem.
6
And
so
did
he
in
the
cities
of
Manasseh,
and
Ephraim,
and
Simeon,
euen
vnto
Naphtali,
with
their
mattockes,
round
about.
7
And
when
he
had
broken
downe
the
altars
and
the
groues,
and
had
beaten
the
grauen
images
into
pouder,
and
cut
downe
all
the
idoles
throughout
all
the
land
of
Israel,
hee
returned
to
Ierusalem.
8
Now
in
the
eighteenth
yeere
of
his
reigne,
when
hee
had
purged
the
land,
and
the
house;
he
sent
Shaphan
the
sonne
of
Azaliah,
and
Maasiah
the
gouernour
of
the
citie,
and
Ioah
the
sonne
of
Ioahaz
the
recorder,
to
repaire
the
house
of
the
Lord
his
God.
9
And
when
they
came
to
Hilkiah
the
high
priest,
they
deliuered
the
money
that
was
brought
into
the
house
of
God,
which
the
Leuites
that
kept
the
doores,
had
gathered
of
the
hand
of
Manasseh,
and
Ephraim,
and
of
all
the
remnant
of
Israel,
and
of
all
Iudah,
and
Beniamin,
and
they
returned
to
Ierusalem.
10
And
they
put
it
in
the
hand
of
the
workemen
that
had
the
ouersight
of
the
house
of
the
Lord,
and
they
gaue
it
to
the
workemen
that
wrought
in
the
house
of
the
Lord,
to
repaire
and
mend
the
house.
11
Euen
to
the
artificers
and
builders
gaue
they
it,
to
buy
hewen
stone,
and
timber
for
couplings,
and
to
floore
the
houses,
which
the
kings
of
Iudah
had
destroyed.
12
And
the
men
did
the
worke
faithfully,
and
the
ouerseers
of
them
were
Iahath,
and
Obadiah,
the
Leuites,
of
the
sonnes
of
Merari,
and
Sechariah,
and
Meshullam,
of
the
sonnes
of
the
Kohathites,
to
set
it
forward:
and
other
of
the
Leuites,
all
that
could
skill
of
instruments
of
musicke.
13
Also
they
were
ouer
the
bearers
of
burdens,
and
were
ouerseers
of
all
that
wrought
the
worke
in
any
manner
of
seruice:
and
of
the
Leuites
there
were
Scribes,
and
officers,
and
porters.
14
And
when
they
brought
out
the
money
that
was
brought
into
the
house
of
the
Lord,
Hilkiah
the
priest
found
a
booke
of
the
lawe
of
the
Lord,
giuen
by
Moses.
15
And
Hilkiah
answered
and
saide
to
Shaphan
the
scribe:
I
haue
found
the
booke
of
the
law
in
the
house
of
the
Lord.
And
Hilkiah
deliuered
the
booke
to
Shaphan:
16
And
Shaphan
caried
the
booke
to
the
king,
and
brought
the
king
word
backe
againe,
saying,
All
that
was
committed
to
thy
seruants,
they
doe
it.
17
And
they
haue
gathered
together
the
money
that
was
found
in
the
house
of
the
Lord,
and
haue
deliuered
it
into
the
hand
of
the
ouerseers,
and
to
the
hand
of
the
workemen.
18
Then
Shaphan
the
scribe
tolde
the
king,
saying,
Hilkiah
the
priest
hath
giuen
me
a
booke.
And
Shaphan
read
it
before
the
king.
19
And
it
came
to
passe
when
the
king
had
heard
the
words
of
the
lawe,
that
he
rent
his
clothes.
20
And
the
king
commanded
Hilkiah,
and
Ahikam
the
sonne
of
Shaphan,
and
Abdon
the
sonne
of
Mirah,
and
Shaphan
the
scribe,
and
Asaiah
a
seruant
of
the
kings,
saying,
21
Goe,
enquire
of
the
Lord
for
me,
and
for
them
that
are
left
in
Israel
and
in
Iudah,
concerning
the
wordes
of
the
booke
that
is
found:
for
great
is
the
wrath
of
the
Lord
that
is
powred
out
vpon
vs,
because
our
fathers
haue
not
kept
the
word
of
the
Lord,
to
doe
after
all
that
is
written
in
this
booke.
22
And
Hilkiah
and
they
that
the
king
had
appointed
went
to
Huldah
the
prophetesse,
the
wife
of
Shallum
the
sonne
of
Tikuath,
the
sonne
of
Hasrah,
keeper
of
the
wardrobe
(now
she
dwelt
in
Ierusalem
in
the
colledge,)
and
they
spake
to
her
to
that
effect.
23
And
she
answered
them,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
God
of
Israel:
Tell
ye
the
man
that
sent
you
to
me,
24
Thus
saith
the
Lord,
behold,
I
will
bring
euill
vpon
this
place,
and
vpon
the
inhabitants
thereof,
euen
all
the
curses
that
are
written
in
the
booke
which
they
haue
read
before
the
king
of
Iudah:
25
Because
they
haue
forsaken
mee,
and
haue
burned
incense
vnto
other
gods,
that
they
might
prouoke
mee
to
anger
with
all
the
workes
of
their
hands,
therefore
my
wrath
shall
bee
powred
out
vpon
this
place,
and
shall
not
be
quenched.
26
And
as
for
the
king
of
Iudah,
who
sent
you
to
enquire
of
the
Lord,
so
shal
ye
say
vnto
him:
Thus
saith
the
Lord
God
of
Israel,
concerning
the
words
which
thou
hast
heard:
27
Because
thine
heart
was
tender,
and
thou
didst
humble
thy
selfe
before
God,
when
thou
heardest
his
words
against
this
place,
and
against
the
inhabitants
thereof,
and
humbledst
thy
selfe
before
me,
and
diddest
rend
thy
clothes,
and
weepe
before
me,
I
haue
euen
heard
thee
also,
saith
the
Lord.
28
Behold,
I
will
gather
thee
to
thy
fathers,
and
thou
shalt
bee
gathered
to
thy
graue
in
peace,
neither
shall
thine
eyes
see
all
the
euill
that
I
will
bring
vpon
this
place,
and
vpon
the
inhabitants
of
the
same.
So
they
brought
the
king
word
againe.
29
Then
the
king
sent,
and
gathered
together
all
the
Elders
of
Iudah
and
Ierusalem.
30
And
the
king
went
vp
into
the
house
of
the
Lord,
and
all
the
men
of
Iudah,
and
the
inhabitants
of
Ierusalem,
and
the
priests
and
the
Leuites,
and
all
the
people
great
and
small:
and
he
read
in
their
eares
all
the
words
of
the
booke
of
the
couenant,
that
was
found
in
the
house
of
the
Lord.
31
And
the
King
stood
in
his
place,
&
made
a
Couenant
before
the
Lord,
to
walke
after
the
Lord,
and
to
keep
his
Commandements,
and
his
Testimonies,
and
his
Statutes,
with
all
his
heart,
&
with
all
his
soule,
to
performe
the
words
of
the
Couenant
which
are
written
in
this
booke.
32
And
he
caused
all
that
were
present
in
Ierusalem
and
Beniamin,
to
stand
to
it.
And
the
inhabitants
of
Ierusalem
did
according
to
the
couenant
of
God,
the
God
of
their
fathers.
33
And
Iosiah
tooke
away
all
the
abominations
out
of
all
the
countreys
that
perteined
to
the
children
of
Israel,
and
made
all
that
were
present
in
Israel
to
serue,
euen
to
serue
the
Lord
their
God.
And
all
his
dayes
they
departed
not
from
folowing
the
Lord
the
God
of
their
fathers.
