2 Kings22:8
8 ¶ And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD: and Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
That Original book of the law of the Lord, given or written by the hand of Moses, as it is expressed, 2 Chr. 34. 14. which by Gods Command was put beside the Ark, Deut. 31. 26. and probably taken from thence and hid, by the care of some godly Priest, when some of the Idolatrous Kings of Iudah persecuted the True Religion, and defaced the Temple, and (which the Iewish Writers affirm) burnt all the Copies of Gods Law which they could find, and now found among the Rubbish, or in some secret place.
