“And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.”
“And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes. ”
“It happened, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he tore his clothes.”
“When the king heard the words of the law scroll, he tore his clothes.”
“And the king had heard the words of the law of the Lord, he rent his garments.”
“And the king, hearing the words of the book of the law, took his robe in his hands, violently parting it as a sign of his grief;”
“And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.”
Then Hilkiah, the high priest, said to Shaphan, the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord.” And Hilkiah gave the volume to Shaphan, and he read it.
Also, Shaphan, the scribe, went to the king, and reported to him what he had instructed. And he said: “Your servants have brought together the money which was found in the house of the Lord. And they have given it so that it would be distributed to the workers by the overseers of the works of the temple of the Lord.”
Also, Shaphan, the scribe, explained to the king, saying, “Hilkiah, the priest, gave the book to me.” And when Shaphan had read it before the king,
and the king had heard the words of the book of the law of the Lord, he tore his garments.
And he instructed Hilkiah, the priest, and Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Achbor, the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan, the scribe, and Asaiah, the servant of the king, saying:
“Go and consult the Lord concerning me, and the people, and all of Judah, about the words of this volume which has been found. For the great wrath of the Lord has been kindled against us because our fathers did not listen to the words of this book, so that they would do all that has been written for us.”
Therefore, Hilkiah, the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah, went to Huldah, the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, the keeper of the vestments, who was living in Jerusalem, in the second part. And they spoke with her.
