Melachim II 22:1-22:7

כב:א   בֶּן-שְׁמֹנֶה שָׁנָה, יֹאשִׁיָּהוּ בְמָלְכוֹ, וּשְׁלֹשִׁים וְאַחַת שָׁנָה, מָלַךְ בִּירוּשָׁלִָם; וְשֵׁם אִמּוֹ, יְדִידָה בַת-עֲדָיָה מִבָּצְקַת.22:1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.
ב   וַיַּעַשׂ הַיָּשָׁר, בְּעֵינֵי יקוק; וַיֵּלֶךְ, בְּכָל-דֶּרֶךְ דָּוִד אָבִיו, וְלֹא-סָר, יָמִין וּשְׂמֹאול. 2 And he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.
ג   וַיְהִי, בִּשְׁמֹנֶה עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה, לַמֶּלֶךְ, יֹאשִׁיָּהוּ; שָׁלַח הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-שָׁפָן בֶּן-אֲצַלְיָהוּ בֶן-מְשֻׁלָּם, הַסֹּפֵר, בֵּית יקוק, לֵאמֹר.3 And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the LORD, saying.
ד   עֲלֵה, אֶל-חִלְקִיָּהוּ הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל, וְיַתֵּם אֶת-הַכֶּסֶף, הַמּוּבָא בֵּית יקוק--אֲשֶׁר אָסְפוּ שֹׁמְרֵי הַסַּף, מֵאֵת הָעָם.4 'Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the money which is brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of the door have gathered of the people;
ה   ויתנה (וְיִתְּנוּהוּ), עַל-יַד עֹשֵׂי הַמְּלָאכָה, הַמֻּפְקָדִים, בבית (בֵּית) יקוק; וְיִתְּנוּ אֹתוֹ, לְעֹשֵׂי הַמְּלָאכָה אֲשֶׁר בְּבֵית יקוק, לְחַזֵּק, בֶּדֶק הַבָּיִת.5 and let them deliver it into the hand of the workmen that have the oversight of the house of the LORD; and let them give it to the workmen that are in the house of the LORD, to repair the breaches of the house;
ו   לֶחָרָשִׁים, וְלַבֹּנִים וְלַגֹּדְרִים; וְלִקְנוֹת עֵצִים וְאַבְנֵי מַחְצֵב, לְחַזֵּק אֶת-הַבָּיִת.6 unto the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons; and for buying timber and hewn stone to repair the house.'--
ז   אַךְ לֹא-יֵחָשֵׁב אִתָּם, הַכֶּסֶף הַנִּתָּן עַל-יָדָם:  כִּי בֶאֱמוּנָה, הֵם עֹשִׂים.7 Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand; for they dealt faithfully.

Melachim II 23:21-23:25

כג:כא   וַיְצַו הַמֶּלֶךְ, אֶת-כָּל-הָעָם לֵאמֹר, עֲשׂוּ פֶסַח, לַיקוק א-לקיכֶם--כַּכָּתוּב, עַל סֵפֶר הַבְּרִית הַזֶּה.23:21 And the king commanded all the people, saying: 'Keep the passover unto the LORD your God, as it is written in this book of the covenant.'
כב   כִּי לֹא נַעֲשָׂה, כַּפֶּסַח הַזֶּה, מִימֵי הַשֹּׁפְטִים, אֲשֶׁר שָׁפְטוּ אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל; וְכֹל, יְמֵי מַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל--וּמַלְכֵי יְהוּדָה.22 For there was not kept such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
כג   כִּי, אִם-בִּשְׁמֹנֶה עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה, לַמֶּלֶךְ, יֹאשִׁיָּהוּ:  נַעֲשָׂה הַפֶּסַח הַזֶּה, לַיקוק--בִּירוּשָׁלִָם.23 but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah was this passover kept to the LORD in Jerusalem.
כד   וְגַם אֶת-הָאֹבוֹת וְאֶת-הַיִּדְּעֹנִים וְאֶת-הַתְּרָפִים וְאֶת-הַגִּלֻּלִים וְאֵת כָּל-הַשִּׁקֻּצִים, אֲשֶׁר נִרְאוּ בְּאֶרֶץ יְהוּדָה וּבִירוּשָׁלִַם--בִּעֵר, יֹאשִׁיָּהוּ:  לְמַעַן הָקִים אֶת-דִּבְרֵי הַתּוֹרָה, הַכְּתֻבִים עַל-הַסֵּפֶר, אֲשֶׁר מָצָא חִלְקִיָּהוּ הַכֹּהֵן, בֵּית יקוק.24 Moreover them that divined by a ghost or a familiar spirit, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the detestable things that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.
כה   וְכָמֹהוּ לֹא-הָיָה לְפָנָיו מֶלֶךְ, אֲשֶׁר-שָׁב אֶל-יקוק בְּכָל-לְבָבוֹ וּבְכָל-נַפְשׁוֹ וּבְכָל-מְאֹדוֹ--כְּכֹל, תּוֹרַת מֹשֶׁה; וְאַחֲרָיו, לֹא-קָם כָּמֹהוּ.25 And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
