2 Kings 22:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 And when the king had heard the words of the book of the Law, he rent his clothes.
12 Therefore the king commanded Hilkiah the Priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the chancellor, and Asahiah the king’s servant, saying,
13 Go ye and [a]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 wrath of the Lord that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written therein for us.

11 When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law,(A) he tore his robes. 12 He gave these orders to Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam(B) son of Shaphan, Akbor son of Micaiah, Shaphan the secretary and Asaiah the king’s attendant:(C) 13 “Go and inquire(D) of the Lord for me and for the people and for all Judah about what is written in this book that has been found. Great is the Lord’s anger(E) that burns against us because those who have gone before us have not obeyed the words of this book; they have not acted in accordance with all that is written there concerning us.”
