2 Kings 22:19-20
1599 Geneva Bible
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.
