First, in plain English

One of the five men Josiah sent to Huldah the prophetess once the forgotten law scroll had been read to him. The parallel account at 2 Kings 22:12 calls him Achbor son of Micaiah, where Chronicles has Abdon son of Micah.

Who this is

Abdon son of Micah was among the officials King Josiah sent to enquire of the prophetess Huldah after the book of the law was found in the temple (2 Chronicles 34:20). The parallel list in 2 Kings 22:12 names the same man as Achbor son of Micaiah, one of several places where Chronicles and Kings preserve different forms of a name.
