2 Chronicles 34:3 in Context — 2 Chronicles 34
1 Josias avait huit ans lorsqu’il devint roi, et il régna trente et un ans à Jérusalem.
2 Il fit ce qui est droit aux yeux de l’Éternel, et il marcha dans les voies de David, son père; il ne s’en détourna ni à droite ni à gauche.
3 La huitième année de son règne, comme il était encore jeune, il commença à rechercher le Dieu de David, son père; et la douzième année, il commença à purifier Juda et Jérusalem des hauts lieux, des idoles, des images taillées et des images en fonte.
4 On renversa devant lui les autels des Baals, et il abattit les statues consacrées au soleil qui étaient dessus; il brisa les idoles, les images taillées et les images en fonte, et les réduisit en poussière, et il répandit la poussière sur les sépulcres de ceux qui leur avaient sacrifié;
5 et il brûla les ossements des prêtres sur leurs autels. C’est ainsi qu’il purifia Juda et Jérusalem.
