You forgot the Torah.

Hello Rabbi Michael,

In Parashat Vilakh, there was a verse that I wondered about:

21 And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt find him many evils and afflictions, that this song shall be a witness before him for ever, that he shall not be forgotten from the mouth of his seed: for I know his affliction which he doth this day, before I bring him into the land which I sware unto him:

Rashi interpreted:
For it will not be forgotten from the mouth of his seed: This is a promise to Israel, that the Torah will not be completely forgotten from their seed:

But in 2 Kings 22, it is written:

10 And Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book: and Shaphan read it before the king. 11 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes. 12 And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king, saying, 13 Go and inquire of the Lord before me, and before the people, and before all Judah, concerning the words of this book that has been found: For great is the wrath of the Lord that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book, to do according to all that is written concerning us.

It describes a situation where the Torah was forgotten by Israel to the point that even the king and the high priest were unaware of its content. And this is contrary to what is said in Parashat Vayalach, isn't it?

Best regards,
