2. He pleased the LORD and conducted himself unswervingly just as his ancestor David had done.

2. He did what Yahweh regards as right, and in every respect followed the example of his ancestor David, not deviating from it to right or left.

4. go to the high priest Hilkiah and have him smelt down the precious metals that had been donated to the temple of the Lord, which the doorkeepers had collected from the people.

4. 'Go to Hilkiah the high priest,' he told him, 'and tell him to melt down the silver contributed to the Temple of Yahweh and collected by the guardians of the threshold from the people.

6. and for the purchase of wood and hewn stone for the temple repairs.

6. to the carpenters, builders and masons, and for buying timber and dressed stone for the Temple repairs.'

7. No reckoning was asked of them regarding the funds consigned to them, because they held positions of trust.

7. The latter were not required to render account of the money handed over to them, since they were conscientious in their work.

8. The high priest Hilkiah informed the scribe Shaphan, "I have found the book of the law in the temple of the LORD." Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, who read it.

8. The high priest Hilkiah said to Shaphan the secretary, 'I have found the Book of the Law in the Temple of Yahweh.' And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, who read it.

9. Then the scribe Shaphan went to the king and reported, "Your servants have smelted down the metals available in the temple and have consigned them to the master workmen in the temple of the LORD."

9. Shaphan the secretary went to the king, reporting furthermore to him as follows, 'Your servants have melted down the silver which was in the Temple and have handed it over to the masters of works attached to the Temple of Yahweh.'

10. The scribe Shaphan also informed the king that the priest Hilkiah had given him a book, and then read it aloud to the king.

10. Then Shaphan the secretary informed the king, 'The priest Hilkiah has given me a book'; and Shaphan read it aloud in the king's presence.

11. When the king had heard the contents of the book of the law, he tore his garments

11. On hearing the words of the Book of the Law he tore his clothes.

12. and issued this command to Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, son of Shaphan, Achbor, son of Micaiah, the scribe Shaphan, and the king's servant Asaiah:

12. Then the king gave the following order to the priest Hilkiah, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Achbor son of Micaiah, Shaphan the secretary and Asaiah the king's minister:

13. "Go, consult the LORD for me, for the people, for all Judah, about the stipulations of this book that has been found, for the anger of the LORD has been set furiously ablaze against us, because our fathers did not obey the stipulations of this book, nor fulfill our written obligations."

13. 'Go and consult Yahweh on behalf of me and the people about the words of the book that has been discovered; for Yahweh's furious wrath has been kindled against us because our ancestors disobeyed the word of Yahweh by not doing what this book says they ought to have done.'

14. So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah betook themselves to the Second Quarter in Jerusalem, where the prophetess Huldah resided. She was the wife of Shallum, son of Tikvah, son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe. When they had spoken to her,

14. The priest Hilkiah, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan and Asaiah went to the prophetess Huldah wife of Shallum son of Tikvah, son of Harhas the keeper of the wardrobe; she lived in Jerusalem in the new town. They put the matter to her,

15. she said to them, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: 'Say to the man who sent you to me,

15. and she replied, 'Yahweh, God of Israel, says this, "To the man who sent you to me say this:

16. Thus says the LORD: I will bring upon this place and upon its inhabitants all the evil that is threatened in the book which the king of Judah has read.

16. Yahweh says this: I am going to bring disaster on this place and the people who live in it -- all the words of the book read by the king of Judah.

17. Because they have forsaken me and have burned incense to other gods, provoking me by everything to which they turn their hands, my anger is ablaze against this place and it cannot be extinguished.'

17. Because they have abandoned me and sacrificed to other gods, so as to provoke my anger by their every action, my wrath is kindled against this place, and nothing can stop it.

18. "But to the king of Judah who sent you to consult the LORD, give this response: 'Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: As for the threats you have heard,

18. As for the king of Judah who sent you to consult Yahweh, say this to him: As regards the words you have heard . . .

19. because you were heartsick and have humbled yourself before the LORD when you heard my threats that this place and its inhabitants would become a desolation and a curse; because you tore your garments and wept before me; I in turn have listened, says the LORD.

19. But since your heart has been touched and you have humbled yourself before Yahweh on hearing what I have decreed against this place and the people who live in it, how they will become an object of horror and cursing, and have torn your clothes and wept before me, I too have heard- Yahweh says this.

20. I will therefore gather you to your ancestors; you shall go to your grave in peace, and your eyes shall not see all the evil I will bring upon this place.'" This they reported to the king.

20. So look, when I gather you to your ancestors, you will be gathered into your grave in peace; you will not live to see the great disaster that I am going to bring on this place." ' They took this answer to the king.

Fusnote:

22:1-2 - Jošija, sin Amonov, čini ono što je pravo u očima Gospodnjim. Njegovu vladavinu karakterizira duhovna obnova i želja da Judu vrati pravom štovanju (vidi također 2. Ljetopisa 34:1-2 i Jeremija 22:15-16).

22:3-7 - Jošija naređuje obnovu hrama, pokazujući svoju revnost za ispravno štovanje i čisto obožavanje Boga. Obnova hrama simbolizira želju da se obnovi savez s Gospodinom (vidi također 2. Ljetopisa 34:8-13 i Ezra 6:14-15).

22:8-10 - Knjiga zakona je pronađena tijekom obnove hrama, a svećenik Hilkija je daje Jošiji. Ponovno otkriće Božje Riječi označava početak velikog duhovnog probuđenja u Judi (vidi također Nehemija 8:1-3 i Ponovljeni zakon 31:24-26).

22:11-13 - Nakon što je čuo čitanje iz Knjige zakona, Jošija je razderao svoju odjeću u znak pokajanja, priznajući da je Juda ozbiljno prekršio svoj savez s Bogom. Njegov skromni odgovor služi kao primjer kako bi Božja Riječ trebala utjecati na srca (vidi također Joela 2:12-13 i Jakova 1:23-25).

22:14-20 - Proročica Hulda potvrđuje da će Božja osuda stići Judu zbog idolopoklonstva. Međutim, zbog Jošijinog pokajanja, on neće doživjeti ovu kaznu za svog života, pokazujući da Bog odgovara na istinsko pokajanje (vidi također 2. Ljetopisa 34:22-28 i Jeremija 26:18-19).

Stihovi vezani uz 2 Kings, 22:

2. Kraljevima, 22. poglavlje, započinje Jošijina vladavina i ponovno otkrivanje Zakona. Kako povratak Božjoj Riječi može promijeniti društvo? Ovaj tekst pun nade opisuje Jošijine rane reforme, otkriće Knjige zakona u hramu i kraljev odgovor na čitanje Svetog pisma. Poglavlje ističe teme kao što su nacionalno pokajanje, duhovna obnova i središnja važnost Božje riječi. 2 Kraljevi 22 također predstavlja proročicu Huldu. Razmotrite s nama pet biblijskih odlomaka koji razjašnjavaju otkupiteljske teme ovog nadahnjujućeg poglavlja.

2. Ljetopisa 34:14-18: "Dok su iznosili novac koji je bio odnesen u hram Gospodnji, svećenik Hilkija nađe Knjigu zakona Gospodnjeg koji je dan preko Mojsija. Hilkija reče tajniku Šafanu: 'Našao sam Knjigu zakona u hramu Gospodnjem'. I dade ga Šafanu. Tada Šafan odnese knjigu kralju i obavijesti ga: 'Tvoje sluge rade sve što im je rečeno. Skupili su novac koji se našao u hramu Gospodnjem i dali ga nadzornicima i radnicima.' Tada je tajnik Šafan rekao kralju: 'Svećenik Hilkija dao mi je knjigu'. Šafan je kralju pročitao dijelove knjige." - Ovaj odlomak u Ljetopisima pruža dodatne pojedinosti o otkriću Knjige zakona tijekom vladavine Jošije, kako je opisano u 2. Kraljevima 22.

Jeremija 1,1-2: "Riječi Jeremije, sina Hilkijina, jednog od svećenika Anatota u Benjaminu. Riječ Gospodnja dođe mu za vrijeme vladavine Jošije, sina Amonova, kralja Judina, u trinaestoj godini njegova kraljevanja." - Ovaj stih stavlja početak službe proroka Jeremije za vrijeme vladavine Jošije, kralja spomenutog u 2. Kraljevima 22.

Sefanija 1:1: "Riječ Gospodnja koja dođe Sefaniji, sinu Kušijevu, unuku Gedalijinu, praunuku Amarijinu i praunuku Ezekijinu, kad je Jošija, sin Amonov, bio judejski kralj:" - Ovaj stih predstavlja Sefanijino proročanstvo koje se dogodilo za vrijeme vladavine Jošije, središnjeg kralja u 2. Kraljevima 22.

Izreke 25:1: "Ovo su druge Salomonove izreke, koje su sabrali sluge Ezekije, kralja Judina:" - Iako nije izravno povezan s Jošijom, ovaj stih pokazuje presedan za kraljevski interes za očuvanje svete literature, kao što se vidi u Jošijinoj reakciji na otkriće Knjige zakona u 2. Kraljevima 22.

Psalmi 119:105: "Tvoja je riječ svjetiljka koja obasjava moje korake i svjetlo koje obasjava moj put." - Ovaj stih odražava Jošijin stav prema Božjem zakonu otkrivenom u 2. Kraljevima 22, ističući važnost Božje riječi kao vodiča.
