1 Kings 12:15 in Context — 1 Kings 12
13 Le roi répondit durement au peuple. Il laissa le conseil que lui avaient donné les vieillards,
14 et il leur parla ainsi d’après le conseil des jeunes gens: Mon père a rendu votre joug pesant, et moi je vous le rendrai plus pesant; mon père vous a châtiés avec des fouets, et moi je vous châtierai avec des scorpions.
15 Ainsi le roi n’écouta point le peuple; car cela fut dirigé par l’Éternel, en vue de l’accomplissement de la parole que l’Éternel avait dite par Achija de Silo à Jéroboam, fils de Nebath.
16 Lorsque tout Israël vit que le roi ne l’écoutait pas, le peuple répondit au roi: Quelle part avons-nous avec David? Nous n’avons point d’héritage avec le fils d’Isaï! A tes tentes, Israël! Maintenant, pourvois à ta maison, David! Et Israël s’en alla dans ses tentes.
17 Les enfants d’Israël qui habitaient les villes de Juda furent les seuls sur qui régna Roboam.
