2 Chroniques 31:1

Louis Segond

Lorsque tout cela fut terminé, tous ceux d'Israël qui étaient présents partirent pour les villes de Juda, et ils brisèrent les statues, abattirent les idoles, et renversèrent entièrement les hauts lieux et les autels dans tout Juda et Benjamin et dans Ephraïm et Manassé. Puis tous les enfants d'Israël retournèrent dans leurs villes, chacun dans sa propriété.

Lorsque tout cela fut achevé, tous ceux d'Israël qui se trouvaient là, allèrent par les villes de Juda, et brisèrent les statues, abattirent les emblèmes d'Ashéra et démolirent les hauts lieux et les autels, dans tout Juda et Benjamin et dans Éphraïm et Manassé, jusqu'à ce que tout fût détruit. Ensuite tous les enfants d'Israël retournèrent dans leurs villes, chacun dans sa possession.

Darby's French Translation
Et lorsque tout cela fut terminé, tous ceux d'Israël qui se trouvèrent là, s'en allèrent par les villes de Juda, et brisèrent les statues, et abattirent les ashères, et démolirent les hauts lieux et les autels dans tout Juda et Benjamin, et en Éphraïm et Manassé, jusqu'à ce qu'ils eussent tout détruit; et tous les fils d'Israël retournèrent dans leurs villes, chacun dans sa possession.

La Bible David Martin (1744)
Or sitôt qu'on eut achevé toutes ces choses, tous ceux d'Israël qui s'étaient trouvés là, allèrent par les villes de Juda, et brisèrent les statues, et coupèrent les bocages, et démolirent les hauts lieux, et les autels de tout Juda et Benjamin, et ils en firent de même en Ephraïm et en Manassé, jusqu'à détruire tout; puis tous les enfants d'Israël retournèrent chacun en sa possession dans leurs villes.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now when all this was finished,.... The temple cleansed, the priests and Levites sanctified, the passover and feast of unleavened bread observed, and other seven days of rejoicing kept:

all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin; which had been erected by Ahaz, 2 Chronicles 28:2 at or about this time also the brasen serpent was broke to pieces, 2 Kings 18:4,

in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all; which must be understood of such cities in those tribes that had been taken in former times by the kings of Judah from the kings of Israel; or such as were now in the hands of the Assyrians, who might not concern themselves in matters of religion; or this might be done at the connivance of Hoshea king of Israel, who had no regard to any other idolatry than the worship of the calves; and besides, having met with trouble from the Assyrians, and fearing more, might be willing to have his kingdom cleared of idolatry, in hope the divine displeasure would be removed:

then all the children of Israel returned every man to his possession into their own cities; and not till then, when all monuments of idolatry were removed.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Jerusalem had been cleansed 2 Chronicles 30:14; now the land had to be purged. Hezekiah therefore gave his sanction to a popular movement directed as much against the “high places” which had been maintained since the times of the patriarchs, as against the remnants of the Baal-worship, or the innovations of Ahaz. See 2 Kings 18:4 note. The invasion of the northern kingdom “Ephraim and Manasseh” by a tumultuous crowd from the southern one, and the success which attended the movement, can only be explained by the state of weakness into which the northern kingdom had fallen (see the note at 2 Chronicles 29:24).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXXI

The people destroy all traces of idolatry throughout Judah,

Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh, 1.

Hezekiah reforms the state of religion in general; and the

tithes are brought in from all quarters, and proper officers

set over them, 2-13.

They bring to also the freewill-offerings, and regulate the

priests and Levites and their families, according to their

genealogies, 14-19.

Hezekiah does every thing in sincerity and truth, and is

prosperous, 20, 21.

NOTES ON CHAP. XXXI

Verse 2 Chronicles 31:1. Brake the images in pieces — This species of reformation was not only carried on through Judah, but they carried it into Israel; whether through a transport of religious zeal, or whether with the consent of Hoshea the Israelitish king, we cannot tell.
