2 Reis 23:29-30

29 Nos seus dias subiu Faraó-Neco, rei do Egito, contra o rei da Assíria, ao rio Eufrates. E o rei Josias lhe foi ao encontro; e Faraó-Neco o matou em Megido, logo que o viu.

30 De Megido os seus servos o levaram morto num carro, e o trouxeram a Jerusalém, onde o sepultaram no seu sepulcro. E o povo da terra tomou a Jeoacaz, filho de Josias, ungiram-no, e o fizeram rei em lugar de seu pai.

2 Reis 23:29-30 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO 2 KINGS 23

This chapter treats of Josiah's reading the book of the law, and of him and the people renewing the covenant with God, 2Ki 23:1-3, and of his removing idols and idolatry in every shape, and witchcraft, out of the land, which he did in the sincerity of his heart, 2Ki 23:4-25, yet the wrath of God was still determined upon the land, 2Ki 23:26-28 and Josiah was taken away by an untimely death, 2Ki 23:29,30 and was succeeded by two sons of his, one after another, whose reigns were wicked, 2Ki 23:31-37.
