2 Kings 23:17 in Context — 2 Kings 23
15 Il renversa aussi l’autel qui était à Béthel, et le haut lieu qu’avait fait Jéroboam, fils de Nebath, qui avait fait pécher Israël; il brûla le haut lieu et le réduisit en poussière, et il brûla l’idole.
16 Josias, s’étant tourné et ayant vu les sépulcres qui étaient là dans la montagne, envoya prendre les ossements des sépulcres, et il les brûla sur l’autel et le souilla, selon la parole de l’Éternel prononcée par l’homme de Dieu qui avait annoncé ces choses.
17 Il dit: Quel est ce monument que je vois? Les gens de la ville lui répondirent: C’est le sépulcre de l’homme de Dieu, qui est venu de Juda, et qui a crié contre l’autel de Béthel ces choses que tu as accomplies.
18 Et il dit: Laissez-le; que personne ne remue ses os! On conserva ainsi ses os avec les os du prophète qui était venu de Samarie.
19 Josias fit encore disparaître toutes les maisons des hauts lieux, qui étaient dans les villes de Samarie, et qu’avaient faites les rois d’Israël pour irriter l’Éternel; il fit à leur égard entièrement comme il avait fait à Béthel.
