Verse 8 is found in chapter 22 of 2 Kings. The priest Hilkiah finds the Book of the Law in the temple and gives it to Shaphan, who reads it before the king. The discovery functions as the turning point of the entire account of Josiah. The reform is no longer based solely on removing cultic objects, but is now directly confronted by a text defining the Lord’s will. The reading transforms the king’s perception of Judah’s spiritual condition. The written word becomes the criterion by which the nation’s religious practices must be evaluated.
