2 Chronicles 28:23 in Context — 2 Chronicles 28
21 Car Achaz dépouilla la maison de l’Éternel, la maison du roi et celle des chefs, pour faire des présents au roi d’Assyrie; ce qui ne lui fut d’aucun secours.
22 Pendant qu’il était dans la détresse, il continuait à pécher contre l’Éternel, lui, le roi Achaz.
23 Il sacrifia aux dieux de Damas, qui l’avaient frappé, et il dit: Puisque les dieux des rois de Syrie leur viennent en aide, je leur sacrifierai pour qu’ils me secourent. Mais ils furent l’occasion de sa chute et de celle de tout Israël.
24 Achaz rassembla les ustensiles de la maison de Dieu, et il mit en pièces les ustensiles de la maison de Dieu. Il ferma les portes de la maison de l’Éternel, il se fit des autels à tous les coins de Jérusalem,
25 et il établit des hauts lieux dans chacune des villes de Juda pour offrir des parfums à d’autres dieux. Il irrita ainsi l’Éternel, le Dieu de ses pères.
