2 Kings 23:5 in Context — 2 Kings 23
3 Le roi se tenait sur l’estrade, et il traita alliance devant l’Éternel, s’engageant à suivre l’Éternel, et à observer ses ordonnances, ses préceptes et ses lois, de tout son cœur et de toute son âme, afin de mettre en pratique les paroles de cette alliance, écrites dans ce livre. Et tout le peuple entra dans l’alliance.
4 Le roi ordonna à Hilkija, le souverain sacrificateur, aux sacrificateurs du second ordre, et à ceux qui gardaient le seuil, de sortir du temple de l’Éternel tous les ustensiles qui avaient été faits pour Baal, pour Astarté, et pour toute l’armée des cieux; et il les brûla hors de Jérusalem, dans les champs du Cédron, et en fit porter la poussière à Béthel.
5 Il chassa les prêtres des idoles, établis par les rois de Juda pour brûler des parfums sur les hauts lieux dans les villes de Juda et aux environs de Jérusalem, et ceux qui offraient des parfums à Baal, au soleil, à la lune, au zodiaque et à toute l’armée des cieux.
6 Il sortit de la maison de l’Éternel l’idole d’Astarté, qu’il transporta hors de Jérusalem vers le torrent de Cédron; il la brûla au torrent de Cédron et la réduisit en poussière, et il en jeta la poussière sur les sépulcres des enfants du peuple.
7 Il abattit les maisons des prostitués qui étaient dans la maison de l’Éternel, et où les femmes tissaient des tentes pour Astarté.
