1 Osam godina beše Josiji kad poče carovati, i carova trideset i jednu godinu u Jerusalimu. Materi mu beše ime Jedida, kći Adajeva, iz Voskata. 2 On činjaše što je pravo pred Gospodom, i hođaše svim putem Davida, oca svog i ne odstupaše ni nadesno ni nalevo. 3 A osamnaeste godine carovanja Josijinog posla car Safana, sina Azalije sina Mesulamovog, pisara, u dom Gospodnji, govoreći: 4 Idi ka Helkiji poglavaru svešteničkom, neka izbroji novce donesene u dom Gospodnji, što su nakupili od naroda vratari. 5 I neka ih da poslenicima koji nadgledaju dom Gospodnji, pa neka daju poslenicima koji rade oko doma Gospodnjeg da se opravi što je trošno u domu, 6 drvodeljama i kamenarima i zidarima, i da se kupuje drvo i kamen tesani da se opravi dom. 7 Ali da im se ne traže računi od novaca koji im se dadu, jer će verno raditi. 8 Tada reče Helkija, poglavar sveštenički, Safanu pisaru: Nađoh zakonik u domu Gospodnjem. I Helkija dade knjigu Safanu, i on je pročita. 9 A Safan pisar otide k caru, i javi caru govoreći: Pokupiše sluge tvoje novce što se nađoše u domu, predaše ih poslenicima koji nadgledaju dom Gospodnji. 10 I kaza Safan pisar caru govoreći: Knjigu mi dade Helkija sveštenik. I pročita je Safan caru. 11 A kad car ču reči u zakoniku, razdre haljine svoje. 12 I zapovedi car Helkiji svešteniku i Ahikamu sinu Safanovom i Ahvoru sinu Mihejevom i Safanu pisaru i Asaji sluzi carevom, govoreći: 13 Idite, upitajte Gospoda za me i za narod i za svega Judu radi reči ove knjige što se nađe; jer je velik gnev Gospodnji koji se raspalio na nas zato što oci naši ne slušaše reči ove knjige da čine sve onako kako nam je napisano. 14 I tako otide Helkija sveštenik i Ahikam i Ahvor i Safan i Asaja k proročici Oldi, ženi Saluma sina Tekuja sina Arasa rizničara; a ona stajaše u Jerusalimu u drugom kraju, i govoraše s njom. 15 A ona im reče: Ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: Kažite čoveku koji vas je poslao k meni: 16 Ovako veli Gospod: Evo pustiću zlo na to mesto i na stanovnike njegove, sve što govori knjiga koju je pročitao car Judin, 17 zato što me ostaviše, i kadiše drugim bogovima da bi me gnevili svim delima ruku svojih; zato se gnev moj raspalio na to mesto, i neće se ugasiti. 18 A caru Judinom, koji vas je poslao da upitate Gospoda, ovako mu kažite: Ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev za reči koje si čuo: 19 Što je umeknulo srce tvoje, i ponizio si se pred Gospodom kad si čuo šta sam govorio za to mesto i za stanovnike njegove da će biti pustoš i prokletinja, i što si razdro haljine svoje i plakao preda mnom, zato i ja usliših tebe, veli Gospod. 20 Zato, evo, ja ću te pribrati k ocima tvojim, i na miru ćeš biti pribran u grob svoj, i nećeš očima svojim videti zlo koje ću pustiti na to mesto. I kazaše to caru.
