A message from the Lord came to Zephaniah, the son of Cushi. Cushi was the son of Gedaliah. Gedaliah was the son of Amariah. Amariah was the son of King Hezekiah. The Lord spoke to Zephaniah during the rule of Josiah. He was king of Judah and the son of Amon.

A message from the Lord came to Jeremiah. It came in the 13th year that Josiah was king over Judah. Josiah was the son of Amon.

Then the people of the land killed all those who had made plans against King Amon. They made his son Josiah king in his place.

The man cried out. He shouted a message from the Lord against the altar. He said,“ Altar! Altar! The Lord says,‘ A son named Josiah will be born into the royal family of David. Altar, listen to me! Josiah will sacrifice the priests of the high places on you. They will be the children of the priests who are offering sacrifices here. So human bones will be burned on you.’ ”

Amon was the son of Manasseh. Josiah was the son of Amon.Josiah’s first son was Johanan. Jehoiakim was his second son. Zedekiah was the third son. Shallum was the fourth son.

Manasseh was 12 years old when he became king. He ruled in Jerusalem for 55 years.

But the boy Samuel served the Lord. He wore a sacred linen apron.

The boy Samuel continued to grow stronger. He also became more and more pleasing to the Lord and to people.

Joash was seven years old when he became king. He ruled in Jerusalem for 40 years. His mother’s name was Zibiah. She was from Beersheba.

All the people of Judah made Uzziah king. He was 16 years old. They made him king in place of his father Amaziah.

“ Lord my God, you have now made me king. You have put me in the place of my father David. But I’m only a little child. I don’t know how to carry out my duties.I’m here among the people you have chosen. They are a great nation. They are more than anyone can count.So give me a heart that understands. Then I can rule over your people. I can tell the difference between what is right and what is wrong. Who can possibly rule over this great nation of yours?”

A poor but wise young man is better off than an old but foolish king. That king doesn’t pay attention to a warning anymore.

Josiah was eight years old when he became king. He ruled in Jerusalem for 31 years. His mother’s name was Jedidah. She was the daughter of Adaiah. She was from Bozkath.Josiah did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. He lived the way King David had lived. He didn’t turn away from it to the right or the left.King Josiah sent his secretary Shaphan to the Lord’ s temple. It was in the 18th year of Josiah’s rule. Shaphan was the son of Azaliah. Azaliah was the son of Meshullam. Josiah said,“ Go up to Hilkiah the high priest. Have him add up the money that has been brought into the Lord’ s temple. The men who guard the doors have collected it from the people.Have them put all the money in the care of certain men. These men have been put in charge of the work on the Lord’ s temple. Have them pay the workers who repair it.Have them pay the builders and those who work with wood. Have them pay those who lay the stones. Also have them buy lumber and blocks of stone to repair the temple.But they don’t have to report how they use the money that is given to them. That’s because they are completely honest.”Hilkiah the high priest spoke to Shaphan the secretary. Hilkiah said,“ I’ve found the Book of the Law in the Lord’ s temple.” Hilkiah gave it to Shaphan, who read it.Then Shaphan went to King Josiah. Shaphan told him,“ Your officials have paid out the money that was in the Lord’ s temple. They’ve put it in the care of the workers and directors there.”Shaphan continued,“ Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” Shaphan read some of it to the king.The king heard the words of the Book of the Law. When he did, he tore his royal robes.He gave orders to Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Akbor, Shaphan the secretary and Asaiah. Ahikam was the son of Shaphan. Akbor was the son of Micaiah. And Asaiah was the king’s attendant. Josiah commanded them,“ Go. Ask the Lord for advice. Ask him about what is written in this book that has been found. Do it for me. Also do it for the people and the whole nation of Judah. The Lord is very angry with us. That’s because our people who have lived before us didn’t obey the words of this book. They didn’t do everything written there about us.”Hilkiah the priest went to speak to Huldah the prophet. So did Ahikam, Akbor, Shaphan and Asaiah. Huldah was the wife of Shallum. Shallum was the son of Tikvah. Tikvah was the son of Harhas. Shallum took care of the sacred robes. Huldah lived in the New Quarter of Jerusalem.Huldah said to them,“ The Lord is the God of Israel. He says,‘ Here is what you must tell the man who sent you to me.Tell him,“ The Lord says,‘ I am going to bring horrible trouble on this place and its people. Everything written in the book the king of Judah has read will take place.That’s because the people have deserted me. They have burned incense to other gods. They have made me very angry because of the statues of gods their hands have made. So my anger will burn like a fire against this place. And the fire of my anger will not be put out.’ ” ’The king of Judah sent you to ask the Lord for advice. Tell him,‘ The Lord is the God of Israel. He has a message for you about the things you heard. He says,“ Your heart was tender. You made yourself humble in the eyes of the Lord. You heard what I spoke against this place and its people. I said they would be under a curse. I told them they would be destroyed. You tore your royal robes and wept in front of me. And I have heard you,” announces the Lord.“ You will join the members of your family who have already died. You will be buried in peace. Your eyes will not see all the trouble I am going to bring on this place.” ’ ” Huldah’s answer was taken back to the king.

Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh. Manasseh was the father of Amon. Amon was the father of Josiah.And Josiah was the father of Jeconiah and his brothers. At that time, the Jewish people were forced to go away to Babylon.
