(14-19) Hilkiah finds the Book of the Law, and delivers it to Shaphan, who reads it before the king. (Comp. 2Kings 22:8-11.)

(14) And when they brought out.--This verse is not in Kings. It supplements the older account, by assigning the occasion of the discovery.

Josephus makes Hilkiah find the book in the treasure-chamber of the Temple which he had entered to get gold and silver for making some sacred vessels. According to Rabbinical tradition it was found hidden under a heap of stones, where it had been placed to save it from being burnt by king Ahaz.

A book.--The book.

Given by Moses.--The Hebrew phrase, "by the hand of Moses," belongs not to "the book," but to "the Law (or teaching) of Jehovah"; and the meaning of the whole expression is, "the Law of Jehovah communicated through the medium or instrumentality of Moses." (Comp. 2Chronicles 33:8.)

To Shaphan.--Kings adds, "and he read it." Those words need not mean that Shaphan read the book through, as Thenius suggests. (See Note on 2Kings 22:3.) . . .

Verse 14. - The time of this verse is not free from ambiguity, which the parallel does not remove. It purports either that, on occasion of "bringing out the money," Hilkiah providentially lighted on his find, or that he availed himself of that occasion to report and give up the find made some time or other previously. The italic-type word "given," in this verse, it is better to discard, and to restore the omitted words, "by the hand of;" i.e. the book was either Moses' original handwriting and solemn deposit (Deuteronomy 31:26) - in that ease nearly eight centuries and a half old-or, at any rate, the standard copy and authorized successor of it, though we nowhere read of such a copy having been made, nor is it necessary to doubt the durability of the original. A book should be rendered the book.
