Answer Details
During the reign of Josiah, the Book of the Law was found in the temple by Hilkiah. According to the Old Testament book of 2 Kings, during the renovation of the temple, Hilkiah the high priest found a scroll that was identified as the Book of the Law (most likely Deuteronomy) which had been lost for many years. Hilkiah then gave the scroll to Shaphan the scribe who read it to King Josiah. The discovery of the Book of the Law was a turning point in the religious reforms instituted by Josiah in Judah.
