Hilkiah says that he has found the book of the law in the LORD’s house, and the king hears the words of the book and tears his clothes
힐기야가 여호와의 전에서 율법책을 발견하였다고 말하고 왕이 율법책의 말을 듣고 옷을 찢음
2 Kings 22:8–11: Hilkiah the high priest says to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the book of the law in the LORD’s house.” Hilkiah delivers the book to Shaphan, and he reads it. Shaphan the scribe comes to the king, and brings the king word again, and says, “Your servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hands of the workmen who have the oversight of the LORD’s house.” Shaphan the scribe tells the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has delivered a book to me.” Then Shaphan reads it before the king. When the king hears the words of the book of the law, he tears his clothes. The Korean Revised Version names Shaphan as the one who reads at 22:8 (사반이 읽으니라), where WEB says “he”, and gives 22:10 no subject.
