Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

2 Kings 21
²⁴ Then the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.
²⁵ Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
²⁶ He was buried in his grave in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son became king in his place.
2 Kings 22
¹ Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.
² He did right in the sight of the Lord and walked in all the way of his father David, nor did he turn aside to the right or to the left.
³ Now in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah the son of Meshullam the scribe, to the house of the Lord saying,
⁴ "Go up to Hilkiah the high priest that he may count the money brought in to the house of the Lord which the doorkeepers have gathered from the people.
⁵ Let them deliver it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of the Lord, and let them give it to the workmen who are in the house of the Lord to repair the damages of the house,
⁶ to the carpenters and the builders and the masons and for buying timber and hewn stone to repair the house.
⁷ Only no accounting shall be made with them for the money delivered into their hands, for they deal faithfully."
⁸ Then Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, "I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord." And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan who read it.
