19 And it happened, when the king heard the words of the Law, that he tore his garments.
20 And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the servant of the king, saying,
21 Go, seek Jehovah for me and for him who is left in Israel and in Judah, as to the words of the book that has been found, for great is the wrath of Jehovah that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept the word of Jehovah, to do according to all that is written in this book.
22 And Hilkiah and those of the king went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, the keeper of the robes; and she was living in Jerusalem in the Second. And they spoke to her about this.
23 And she said to them, So says Jehovah, the God of Israel, Say to the man who has sent you to Me,
24 So says Jehovah, Behold, I will bring evil on this place, and on its inhabitants, all the curses that are written in the Book that they have read before the king of Judah;
25 because they have forsaken Me and have burned incense to other gods so as to provoke Me with all the works of their hands; and My wrath shall be poured out on this place, and it shall not be quenched.
26 And to the king of Judah who is sending you to inquire of Jehovah, you shall say this to him, So says Jehovah the God of Israel, whose words you have heard,
27 Because your heart is tender, and you were humbled before God when you heard His words concerning this place, and concerning its inhabitants, and were humbled before Me, and have torn your garments and wept before Me; I have even heard also, says Jehovah.
28 Behold I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, and your eyes will not look upon all the evil I shall bring upon this place, and on its inhabitants. And they brought the king word again.
29 And the king sent and gathered all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
30 And the king went up to the house of Jehovah and every man of Judah, and the people of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the inhabitants from the great to the small; and he read in their ears all the words of the Book of the Covenant found in the house of Jehovah.
31 And the king stood in his place and made the covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep His commandments and His testimonies and His statutes with all his heart, and with all his soul, to do the words of the covenant that were written in this book.
