DIVRE HAYAMIM BET – SECOND CHRONICLES
cut down; and the Asherim, and the carved images, and
the molten images, he broke in pieces, and made dust of
them, and scattered it upon the graves of them that had
sacrificed to them.
5 And he burned the bones of their priests upon their
altars, and cleansed Yahudah and Yahrushalayim.
6 And so he also did in the cities of Menashsheh, and
Efrayim, and Shimeon, even to Naphtali, with their
ruins all around. 4369
7 And when he had broken down the altars and the
Asherim, and had beaten the graven images into
powder, and cut down all the idols throughout all the
land of Yisrael, he returned to Yahrushalayim.
8 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had
purged the land, and the Bayit, he sent Shaphan the son
of Azalyahu, and Maaseyahu the leader of the city, and
Yoach the son of Yoachaz the recorder, to repair the
Bayit of vuvh his Elohim.
9 And when they came to Hilkiyahu the Kohen
HaGadol, they delivered the money that was brought
into the Bayit of Elohim, which the Lewiym that kept
the doors had gathered from the hand of Menashsheh
and Efrayim, and of the remnant of Yisrael, and of all
Yahudah and Benyamin; and they returned to
Yahrushalayim. 4370
10 And they put it in the hand of the workmen that had
the oversight of the Bayit of vuvh, and they gave it to
the workmen that worked in the Bayit of vuvh, to repair
and strengthen the Bayit:
11 Even to the craftsmen and builders they gave it, to
buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to floor
the houses that the melechim of Yahudah had destroyed.
12 And the men did the work faithfully: and the
overseers were Yachath and Ovadyahu, the Lewiym, of
the sons of Merari; and Zacharyah and Meshullam, of
the sons of the Kohathites, to oversee; and others of the
Lewiym, all that were skilled with instruments of music.
13 Also they who oversaw the bearers of burdens, and
were overseers of all those that did work in any manner
of service: and of the Lewiym there were scribes, and
officers, and gatekeepers.
14 And when they brought out the money that was
brought into the Bayit of vuvh, Hilkiyahu the kohen
found a scroll of the Torah of vuvh given by Moshe.
15 And Hilkiyahu answered and said to Shaphan the
Sopher, I have found the scroll of the Torah in the Bayit
of vuvh. And Hilkiyahu delivered the scroll to Shaphan.
16 And Shaphan carried the scroll to the melech, and
brought the melech word back again, saying, All that
was committed to your avadim, they did it.
17 And they have gathered together the money that was
found in the Bayit of vuvh, and have delivered it into the
hands of the overseers, and to the hands of the
workmen.
18 Then Shaphan the Sopher told the melech, saying,
Hilkiyahu the kohen has given me a scroll. And
Shaphan read it before the melech.
19 And it came to pass, when the melech had heard the
words of the Torah, that he tore his clothes.
20 And the melech commanded Hilkiyahu, and Ahikam
the son of Shaphan, and Avdon the son of Micah, and
Shaphan the Sopher, and Asayah an eved of the
melech’s, saying,
- 585 -
21 Go, inquire of vuvh for me, and for them that are left
in Yisrael and in Yahudah, concerning the words of the
scroll 4371 that is found: for great is the wrath of vuvh
that is poured out upon us, because our ahvot have not
kept the word of vuvh, to do after all that is written in
this scroll.
22 And Hilkiyahu, and they that the melech had
appointed, went to Huldah the neviyah, the wife of
Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of
the wardrobe – now she dwelt in Yahrushalayim in the
second quarter – and they spoke to her to that effect.
23 And she answered them, This says vuvh Elohim of
Yisrael, Tell the man that sent you to Me,
24 This says vuvh, See, I will bring evil upon this place,
and upon the inhabitants of it, even all the curses that
are written in the scroll that they have read before the
melech of Yahudah:
25 Because they have forsaken Me, and have burned
incense to other elohim, that they might provoke Me to
anger with all the works of their hands; therefore My
wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and shall not
be quenched.
26 And as for the melech of Yahudah, who sent you to
inquire of vuvh, so shall you say to him, This says vuvh
Elohim of Yisrael concerning the words which you have
heard;
27 Because your lev was tender, and you did humble
yourself before Elohim, when you heard His words
against this place, and against its inhabitants and
humbled yourself before Me, and did tear your clothes,
and weep before Me; I have even heard you also, says
vuvh.
28 See, I will gather you to your ahvot, and you shall be
gathered to your grave in shalom, neither shall your
eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and
upon the inhabitants of it. So they brought the melech
word again.
29 Then the melech sent and gathered together all the
zechanim of Yahudah and Yahrushalayim.
30 And the melech went up into the Bayit of vuvh, and
all the men of Yahudah, and the inhabitants of
Yahrushalayim, and the Kohanim, and the Lewiym, and
all the people, great and small: and he read in their ears
all the words of the scroll of the brit that was found in
the Bayit of vuvh.
31 And the melech stood in his place, and made a brit
before vuvh, to have his halacha after vuvh, and to keep
His mishpatim, and His testimonies, and His chukim,
with all his lev, and with all his being, to perform the
words of the brit that is written in this scroll.
32 And he caused all that were present in
Yahrushalayim and Benyamin to stand by it. And the
inhabitants of Yahrushalayim did according to the brit
of Elohim, the Elohim of their ahvot.
33 And Yoshiyahu took away all the abominations out
of all the countries that pertained to the children of
Yisrael, and made all that were present in Yisrael 4372 to
serve, even to serve vuvh their Elohim. And all his days
they did not depart from following vuvh, the Elohim of
their ahvot.
35
Moreover Yoshiyahu kept a Pesach to vuvh in
Yahrushalayim: and they killed the Pesach on the
