8 Later Hil·kiʹah the high priest said to Shaʹphan the secretary:+ “I have found the book of the Law+ in the house of Jehovah.” So Hil·kiʹah gave the book to Shaʹphan, who began to read it.+

20 Then the king gave this order to Hil·kiʹah, A·hiʹkam+ the son of Shaʹphan, Abʹdon the son of Miʹcah, Shaʹphan the secretary, and A·saiʹah the king’s servant: 21 “Go, inquire of Jehovah in my behalf and in behalf of those who remain in Israel and in Judah concerning the words of the book that has been found; for Jehovah’s rage that will be poured out against us is great because our forefathers did not carry out the word of Jehovah by observing all that is written in this book.”+

24 But A·hiʹkam+ the son of Shaʹphan+ supported Jeremiah, so that he was not handed over to the people to be put to death.+

13 So Neb·uʹzar·adʹan the chief of the guard, Neb·u·shazʹban the Rabʹsa·ris,* Nerʹgal-shar·eʹzer the Rabʹmag,* and all the principal men of the king of Babylon sent 14 and had Jeremiah taken out of the Courtyard of the Guard+ and handed him over to Ged·a·liʹah+ the son of A·hiʹkam+ the son of Shaʹphan+ to be brought to his house. So he lived among the people.

11 And 70 of the elders of the house of Israel were standing before them, with Ja·az·a·niʹah the son of Shaʹphan+ standing among them. Each one had his censer in his hand, and the perfumed cloud of incense was ascending.+
