2 Kings 23:29 in Context — 2 Kings 23

27 Et l’Éternel dit: J’ôterai aussi Juda de devant ma face comme j’ai ôté Israël, et je rejetterai cette ville de Jérusalem que j’avais choisie, et la maison de laquelle j’avais dit: Là sera mon nom.

28 Le reste des actions de Josias, et tout ce qu’il a fait, cela n’est-il pas écrit dans le livre des Chroniques des rois de Juda?

29 De son temps, Pharaon Néco, roi d’Égypte, monta contre le roi d’Assyrie, vers le fleuve de l’Euphrate. Le roi Josias marcha à sa rencontre; et Pharaon le tua à Meguiddo, dès qu’il le vit.

30 Ses serviteurs l’emportèrent mort sur un char; ils l’amenèrent de Meguiddo à Jérusalem, et ils l’enterrèrent dans son sépulcre. Et le peuple du pays prit Joachaz, fils de Josias; ils l’oignirent, et le firent roi à la place de son père.

31 Joachaz avait vingt-trois ans lorsqu’il devint roi, et il régna trois mois à Jérusalem. Sa mère s’appelait Hamuthal, fille de Jérémie, de Libna.
