2 Chronicles 35:22 in Context — 2 Chronicles 35

20 Après tout cela, après que Josias eut réparé la maison de l’Éternel, Néco, roi d’Égypte, monta pour combattre à Carkemisch sur l’Euphrate. Josias marcha à sa rencontre;

21 et Néco lui envoya des messagers pour dire: Qu’y a-t-il entre moi et toi, roi de Juda? Ce n’est pas contre toi que je viens aujourd’hui; c’est contre une maison avec laquelle je suis en guerre. Et Dieu m’a dit de me hâter. Ne t’oppose pas à Dieu, qui est avec moi, de peur qu’il ne te détruise.

22 Mais Josias ne se détourna point de lui, et il se déguisa pour l’attaquer, sans écouter les paroles de Néco, qui venaient de la bouche de Dieu. Il s’avança pour combattre dans la vallée de Meguiddo.

23 Les archers tirèrent sur le roi Josias, et le roi dit à ses serviteurs: Emportez-moi, car je suis gravement blessé.

24 Ses serviteurs l’emportèrent du char, le mirent dans un second char qui était à lui, et l’amenèrent à Jérusalem. Il mourut, et fut enterré dans le sépulcre de ses pères. Tout Juda et Jérusalem pleurèrent Josias.
