The king commands Hilkiah, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan and Asaiah to inquire of the LORD, and they go to Huldah the prophetess

왕이 힐기야와 아히감과 악볼과 사반과 아사야에게 여호와께 물으라고 명하고 저희가 여선지 훌다에게로 나아감

2 Kings 22:12–14: the king commands Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Achbor the son of Micaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, saying, “Go inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found; for great is the LORD’s wrath that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this book, to do according to all that which is written concerning us.” So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah go to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe, and they talk with her. The text says, “now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter”, which WEB sets in brackets. The Korean Revised Version tells the fathers’ not listening before the wrath (22:13), and reads 할하스의 손자 디과의 아들 예복을 주관하는 살룸의 아내 (the wife of Shallum who kept the wardrobe, the son of Tikvah, the grandson of Harhas), making Shallum the keeper of the wardrobe, where WEB sets “keeper of the wardrobe” after the name of Harhas.

    12The king commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Achbor the son of Micaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, saying,

    13“Go inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found; for great is the LORD’s wrath that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this book, to do according to all that which is written concerning us.”

    14So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter); and they talked with her.

Current wording: 2 Kings 22:12–14: the king commands Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Achbor the son of Micaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, saying, “Go inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found; for great is the LORD’s wrath that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this book, to do according to all that which is written concerning us.” So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah go to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe, and they talk with her. The text says, “now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter”, which WEB sets in brackets. The Korean Revised Version tells the fathers’ not listening before the wrath (22:13), and reads 할하스의 손자 디과의 아들 예복을 주관하는 살룸의 아내 (the wife of Shallum who kept the wardrobe, the son of Tikvah, the grandson of Harhas), making Shallum the keeper of the wardrobe, where WEB sets “keeper of the wardrobe” after the name of Harhas.
