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.+
