2 Tawarikh 34:31-33
Konteks34:31 The king stood by his pillar 1 and renewed 2 the covenant before the Lord, agreeing to follow 3 the Lord and to obey his commandments, laws, and rules with all his heart and being, 4 by carrying out the terms 5 of this covenant recorded on this scroll. 34:32 He made all who were in Jerusalem and Benjamin agree to it. 6 The residents of Jerusalem acted in accordance with the covenant of God, the God of their ancestors. 34:33 Josiah removed all the detestable idols from all the areas belonging to the Israelites and encouraged 7 all who were in Israel to worship the Lord their God. Throughout the rest of his reign 8 they did not turn aside from following the Lord God of their ancestors.
