Moreover, Shaphan the scribe told the king Shaphan was a scribe, a position of significant responsibility in the royal court, often involved in recording and communicating important information. His role here highlights the importance of the message he is delivering. The king referred to is Josiah, who reigned in Judah from approximately 640 to 609 BC. Josiah was known for his reforms and dedication to the worship of Yahweh. This moment is pivotal in his reign, as it sets the stage for religious reform based on the rediscovery of the Law. Hilkiah the priest has given me a book And Shaphan read it in the presence of the king Persons / Places / Events 1. Shaphan the ScribeA royal secretary or scribe who served King Josiah. He played a crucial role in communicating the discovery of the Book of the Law to the king. 2. King Josiah The king of Judah who reigned during a time of significant religious reform. He was known for his dedication to restoring the worship of Yahweh. 3. Hilkiah the Priest The high priest who discovered the Book of the Law in the temple. His discovery was pivotal in the religious reforms initiated by Josiah. 4. The Book of the Law Likely a portion of the Torah, possibly Deuteronomy, which was found during temple repairs. Its discovery led to a national religious revival. 5. The Temple in Jerusalem The central place of worship for the Israelites, where the Book of the Law was found during renovations. Teaching Points The Importance of God's WordThe rediscovery of the Book of the Law underscores the necessity of Scripture in guiding personal and communal life. Believers are encouraged to regularly engage with the Bible to align their lives with God's will. Leadership and Accountability Josiah's response to the reading of the Book of the Law demonstrates the responsibility of leaders to uphold and implement God's commandments. Christian leaders today are called to lead with integrity and faithfulness to Scripture. Revival through Repentance The reading of the Book led to national repentance and reform. Personal and communal revival often begins with a return to God's word and a sincere commitment to repentance. The Role of the Community in Spiritual Renewal The involvement of Shaphan, Hilkiah, and Josiah highlights the collaborative effort required for spiritual renewal. The church community plays a vital role in encouraging and supporting each other in faith.(10) Read it before the king.--Keil suggests such passages as Deuteronomy 28 and Leviticus 26. If it were meant that Shaphan read the whole of the book, as Thenius alleges, we should expect "all the words of the book" in 2Kings 22:11.Verse 10. - And Shaphan the scribe showed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. Shaphan does not venture to-characterize the book, as Hilkiah has done. He is not officially learned in the Law. And he has only read a few passages of it. To him, therefore, it is only "a book," the authorship and value of which he leaves it to others to determine. And Shaphan read it before the king. It is most natural to understand hero, as in ver. 8, that Shaphan read portions of the book. Where the author intends to say that the whole book was read, he expresses himself differently (see 2 Kings 23:2, "The king read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant").
