And the king commanded the priest Hilkiah, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Achbor son of Micaiah, Shaphan the secretary, and Asaiah, the king's servant, saying, — Josiah commissions five officials to consult a prophetess regarding the discovered law's implications. The group includes Hilkiah (the high priest), Ahikam (Shaphan's son), Achbor, Shaphan himself, and Asaiah. The inclusive leadership consultation indicates Josiah's desire for broad institutional input regarding the text's meaning and required response.
