2 Kings 23:24 in Context — 2 Kings 23
22 Aucune Pâque pareille à celle-ci n’avait été célébrée depuis le temps où les juges jugeaient Israël et pendant tous les jours des rois d’Israël et des rois de Juda.
23 Ce fut la dix-huitième année du roi Josias qu’on célébra cette Pâque en l’honneur de l’Éternel à Jérusalem.
24 De plus, Josias fit disparaître ceux qui évoquaient les esprits et ceux qui prédisaient l’avenir, et les théraphim, et les idoles, et toutes les abominations qui se voyaient dans le pays de Juda et à Jérusalem, afin de mettre en pratique les paroles de la loi, écrites dans le livre que le sacrificateur Hilkija avait trouvé dans la maison de l’Éternel.
25 Avant Josias, il n’y eut point de roi qui, comme lui, revînt à l’Éternel de tout son cœur, de toute son âme et de toute sa force, selon toute la loi de Moïse; et après lui, il n’en a point paru de semblable.
26 Toutefois l’Éternel ne se désista point de l’ardeur de sa grande colère dont il était enflammé contre Juda, à cause de tout ce qu’avait fait Manassé pour l’irriter.
