2 Rois 23:29-30

29 De son temps Pharaon-Néco, roi d'Égypte, monta contre le roi d'Assyrie, vers le fleuve d'Euphrate; et Josias marcha contre lui. Mais, dès que Pharaon l'eut vu, il le tua à Méguiddo.

30 De Méguiddo ses serviteurs le chargèrent mort sur un char, et l'emmenèrent à Jérusalem, et l'ensevelirent dans son tombeau. Et le peuple du pays prit Joachaz, fils de Josias; et ils l'oignirent, et l'établirent roi à la place de son père.

2 Rois 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.
