17
Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned,
are
they
not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
18
And Manasseh slept with his
fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza: and Amon his son
reigned in his stead.
19
Amon
was
twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in
Jerusalem. And his mother’s name
was
Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
20
And he
did
that which was
evil in the sight of the L
ORD
, as his father Manasseh did.
21
And he walked in
all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped
them:
22
And he forsook the L
ORD
God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the L
ORD
.
23
And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house.
24
And
the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the
land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
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
And he was buried in his
sepulchre in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.
CHAPTER KINGS 22
Josiah
was
eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem.
And his mother’s name
was
Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath.
2
And he did
that which
was
right in the sight of the L
ORD
, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not
aside to the right hand or to the left.
3
And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah,
that
the king sent Shaphan the son
of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the L
ORD
, saying,
4
Go up to Hilkiah
the high priest, that he may sum the silver which is brought into the house of the L
ORD
, which the
keepers of the door have gathered of the people:
5
And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers
of the work, that have the oversight of the house of the L
ORD
: and let them give it to the doers of
the work which
is
in the house of the L
ORD
, to repair the breaches of the house,
6
Unto carpenters,
and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house.
7
Howbeit there
was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they
dealt faithfully.
8
And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in
the house of the L
ORD
. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
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 found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work,
that have the oversight of the house of the L
ORD
.
10
And Shaphan the scribe shewed the king, saying,
Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.
11
And it came
to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.
