2 Chronicles 34:20–28

²⁰and commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Abdon^c son of Micah,^d Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the servant of the king: ²¹“Go and inquire of the LORD for me and for those remaining in Israel and Judah concerning the words in the book that has been found. For great is the wrath of the LORD that has been poured out on us because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD by doing all that is written in this book.”

²²So Hilkiah and those the king had designated went and spoke to Huldah^e the prophetess, the wife of Shallum son of Tokhath,^f the son of Hasrah,^g the keeper of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the Second District.^h

²³And Huldah said to them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Tell the man who sent you ²⁴that this is what the LORD says: I am about to bring calamity on this place and on its people, according to all the curses written in the book that has been read in the presence of the king of Judah, ²⁵because they have forsaken Me and burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands. My wrath will be poured out upon this place and will not be quenched.’

²⁶But as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘As for the words that you heard, ²⁷because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before God when you heard His words against this place and against its people, and because you have humbled yourself before Me and have torn your clothes and wept before Me, I have heard you,’ declares the LORD.

²⁸‘Now I will indeed gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes will not see all the calamity that I will bring on this place and on its people.’”

So they brought her answer back to the king.
