In the history of ancient Judah, King Josiah was a young ruler who initiated reforms to turn the nation back to God's laws after years of idolatry under previous kings. During the repair of the temple in Jerusalem, the Book of the Law was discovered, prompting Josiah to send messengers to the prophetess Huldah for divine guidance on its implications. This verse records Huldah's response, as she begins to relay a message from God to the king and his envoys.
