Context
21Mfalme akamtuma Yehudi akachukue kile kitabu. Yehudi akakileta hicho kitabu kutoka kwenye chumba cha Elishama mwandishi, na akakisoma mbele ya mfalme na maafisa wakiwa wamesimama kando ya mfalme. 22Ulikuwa mwezi wa tisa, na mfalme alikuwa ameketi chumba cha wakati wa baridi akiota moto. 23Hata ikawa kila wakati Yehudi alipomaliza kusoma kurasa tatu au nne za hicho kitabu, mfalme alizikata kwa kisu cha mwandishi na kuzitupia motoni, hadi kitabu chote kikateketea. 24Mfalme na watumishi wake wote waliosikia yote yaliyosomwa hawakuonyesha hofu yoyote, wala hawakuyararua mavazi yao. 25Hata ingawa Elnathani, Delaya na Gemaria walimsihi mfalme asikichome kile kitabu, yeye hakuwasikiliza.
