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.
