Chapter 22

KJV - 2 Kings 22:19

Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the LORD.

Because your heart was gentle and you bowed down before God when you heard me talking about how this place and its people would be destroyed and cursed, and you tore your clothes and cried in front of me, I have listened to you, says the Lord.
