2 Kings 22
1. Josiah's good reign.
3. He takes care for the repair of the temple.
8. Hilkiah having found a book of the law,
12. Josiah sends to Huldah to enquire of the Lord.
15. Huldah prophesies the destruction of Jerusalem, but respite thereof in Josiah's time.














(9) Thy servants.--Hilkiah and I.

Have gathered.--Rather, have poured out--i.e., from the alms-chest into the bags.

In the house.--In the wider sense of the word, as including the outer court (2Kings 12:9). Chronicles reads "in the house of the Lord," which is probably right. So LXX., Vulg., Arabic here.

Verse 9. - And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have gathered the money that was in the house (see above, vers. 4-6), and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the Lord; i.e. "We have carried out the king's orders exactly, in every particular."
