2 Reis 23:29-30

29 Durante o seu reinado, o faraó Neco, rei do Egito, avançou até o rio Eufrates ao encontro do rei da Assíria. O rei Josias marchou para combatê-lo, mas o faraó Neco o enfrentou e o matou em Megido.

30 Os oficiais de Josias levaram o seu corpo de Megido para Jerusalém e o sepultaram em seu próprio túmulo. O povo tomou Jeoacaz, filho de Josias, ungiu-o e o proclamou rei no 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.
