2 Re 23:29-30

29 A tempo suo, Faraone Neco, re d’Egitto, salì contro il re d’Assiria, verso il fiume Eufrate. Il re Giosia gli marciò contro, e Faraone, al primo incontro, l’uccise a Meghiddo.

30 I suoi servi lo menaron via morto sopra un carro, e lo trasportarono da Meghiddo a Gerusalemme, dove lo seppellirono nel suo sepolcro. E il popolo del paese prese Joachaz, figliuolo di Giosia, lo unse, e lo fece re in luogo di suo padre.

2 Re 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.
