34:15. And he said to Saphan the scribe: I have found the book of the
law in the house of the Lord: and he delivered it to him.
34:16. But he carried the book to the king, and told him, saying: Lo,
all that thou hast committed to thy servants, is accomplished.
34:17. They have gathered together the silver that was found in the
house of the Lord: and it is given to the overseers of the artificers,
and of the workmen, for divers works.
34:18. Moreover Helcias the priest gave me this book. And he read it
before the king.
34:19. And when he had heard the words of the law, he rent his garments:
34:20. And he commanded Helcias, and Ahicam the son of Saphan, and Abdon
the son of Micha, and Saphan the scribe, and Asaa the king's servant,
saying:
34:21. Go, and pray to the Lord for me, and for the remnant of Israel,
and Juda, concerning all the words of this book, which is found: for the
great wrath of the Lord hath fallen upon us, because our fathers have
not kept the words of the Lord, to do all things that are written in
this book.
34:22. And Helcias and they that were sent with him by the king, went to
Olda the prophetess, the wife of Sellum the son of Thecuath, the son of
Hasra keeper of the wardrobe: who dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second part:
and they spoke to her the words above mentioned.
34:23. And she answered them: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel:
Tell the man that sent you to me:
34:24. Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will bring evils upon this place,
and upon the inhabitants thereof, and all the curses that are written in
this book which they read before the king of Juda.
34:25. Because they have forsaken me, and have sacrificed to strange
gods, to provoke me to wrath with all the works of their hands,
therefore my wrath shall fail upon this place, and shall not be
quenched.
34:26. But as to the king of Juda that sent you to beseech the Lord,
thus shall you say to him: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel:
Because thou hast heard the words of this book,
34:27. And thy heart was softened, and thou hast humbled thyself in the
sight of God for the things that are spoken against this place, and the
inhabitants of Jerusalem, and reverencing my face, hast rent thy
garments, and wept before me: I also have heard thee, saith the Lord.
34:28. For now I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be
brought to thy tomb in peace: and thy eyes shall not see all the evil
that I will bring upon this place, and the inhabitants thereof. They
therefore reported to the king all that she had said.
34:29. And he called together all the ancients of Juda and Jerusalem.
34:30. And went up to the house of the Lord, and all the men of Juda,
and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the priests and the Levites, and all
the people from the least to the greatest. And the king read in their
hearing, in the house of the Lord, all the words of the book.
34:31. And standing up in his tribunal, he made a covenant before the
Lord to walk after him, and keep his commandments, and testimonies, and
justifications with all his heart, and with all his soul, and to do the
things that were written in that book which he had read.
34:32. And he adjured all that were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to
do the same: and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the
covenant of the Lord the God of their fathers.
34:33. And Josias took away all the abominations out of all the
countries of the children of Israel and made all that were left in
Israel, to serve the Lord their God. As long as he lived they departed
not from the Lord the God of their fathers.
2 Paralipomenon Chapter 35
Josias celebrateth a most solemn pasch. He is slain by the king of
Egypt.
