2 Chronicles 34:28

French (La Bible expliquée)

et je te laisserai mourir en paix; tu seras déposé dans ta tombe sans avoir vu tous les malheurs dont je vais frapper Jérusalem et ses habitants.” » Tout Israël est concerné par cette alliance. Le roi implique dans la cérémonie l'ensemble du peuple. La loi ne touche pas seulement la sphère du privé, elle est affaire publique. Si chacun s'engage en son nom propre, c'est pour la bonne marche de tous. Le roi lui-même assume sa part de responsabilité en veillant à ce qu'aucun culte impie n'ait plus lieu. Le grand-prêtre Hilquia et ses compagnons rapportèrent ce message au roi Josias.
