2 Chronicles 34:14-21 - The Recovery Of The Book Of The Law

14 At the time they brought out the money that had been deposited in Jehovah's Temple, the priest Hilkiah found the book of Jehovah's Law written by Moses. 15 Hilkiah told the scribe Shaphan: I have found the book of the Law in Jehovah's Temple. Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan.

16 Shaphan took the book to the king and reported: We are doing everything you told us to do. 17 We took the money that was donated in Jehovah's Temple and gave it to the supervisors and the workmen. 18 The scribe Shaphan told the king: The priest Hilkiah has given me a book. Shaphan read it to the king.

19 As soon as the king heard what the Law said, he tore his clothes in distress. 20 Then the king gave an order to Hilkiah, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Abdon son of Micah, the scribe Shaphan, and the royal official Asaiah. He said: 21 On behalf of those who are left in Israel and Judah and me, ask Jehovah about the words in this book that was found. Jehovah's fierce anger has been poured on us because our ancestors did not obey the word of Jehovah by doing everything written in this book.
