1Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. His mothers name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.2 He did that which was right in Yahwehs eyes, and walked in all the way of David his father, and didnt turn away to the right hand or to the left.3 In the eighteenth year of king Josiah, the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to Yahwehs house, saying,4 Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may count the money which is brought into Yahwehs house, which the keepers of the threshold have gathered of the people.5 Let them deliver it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of Yahwehs house; and let them give it to the workmen who are in Yahwehs house, to repair the damage to the house,6 to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the house.7 However there was no accounting made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand; for they dealt faithfully.8 Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in Yahwehs house. Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
