2 Kings 22

Josiah reigns righteously; during temple repairs, Hilkiah finds the book of the law, which Shaphan reads to the king. Josiah tears his clothes, sends envoys to inquire of YHWH via prophetess Huldah, who confirms judgment on Judah for forsaking YHWH but spares Josiah due to his humility.[3][4]
