28 I will take you to be with your ancestors.[a] You will go to your grave in peace. You will not have to see any of the trouble that I will bring on this place and on the people living here.’” Hilkiah and the king’s servants brought back this message to King Josiah.

29 Then King Josiah called for all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem to come and meet with him. 30 The king went up to the Lord’s Temple.

He read to them all the words in the Book of the Agreement. That book was found in the Lord’s Temple.
