DESCRIPTION

Engraving by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld (March 26, 1794 - May 24, 1872) Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the royal secretary, "I've found the Book of the Teachings in the Temple of the Lord." He gave it to Shaphan, who read it. Then Shaphan the royal secretary went to the king and reported to Josiah, "Your officers have paid out the money that was in the Temple of the Lord. They have given it to the workers and supervisors at the Temple." Then Shaphan the royal secretary told the king, "Hilkiah the priest has given me a book." And Shaphan read from the book to the king. When the king heard the words of the Book of the Teachings, he tore his clothes to show how upset he was. He gave orders to Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Acbor son of Micaiah, Shaphan the royal secretary, and Asaiah the king's servant. These were the orders: "Go and ask the Lord about the words in the book that was found. Ask for me, for all the people, and for all Judah. The Lord's anger is burning against us, because our ancestors did not obey the words of this book; they did not do all the things written for us to do." 4 kings 22:8-13 illustration was published in "Die Bibel in Bildern"(1860) scan by Ivan Burmistrov [url=http://www.istockphoto.com/file_search.php?action=file&lightboxID=7375479][img]http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/3904/iburmistrov.2/0_3d6f4_63c43c71_orig[/img][/url]
