2 Kings 22:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the Lord, so shall ye say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The words that thou hast heard, shall come to pass.
19 But because thine heart did [a]melt, and thou hast humbled thyself before the Lord when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants of the same, to wit, that it should be destroyed and accursed, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me, I have also heard it, saith the Lord.
20 Behold therefore, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be put in thy grave in [b]peace, and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. Thus they brought the king word again.
