1 Kings 13:26 in Context — 1 Kings 13

24 L’homme de Dieu s’en alla: et il fut rencontré dans le chemin par un lion qui le tua. Son cadavre était étendu dans le chemin; l’âne resta près de lui, et le lion se tint à côté du cadavre.

25 Et voici, des gens qui passaient virent le cadavre étendu dans le chemin et le lion se tenant à côté du cadavre; et ils en parlèrent à leur arrivée dans la ville où demeurait le vieux prophète.

26 Lorsque le prophète qui avait ramené du chemin l’homme de Dieu l’eut appris, il dit: C’est l’homme de Dieu qui a été rebelle à l’ordre de l’Éternel, et l’Éternel l’a livré au lion, qui l’a déchiré et l’a fait mourir, selon la parole que l’Éternel lui avait dite.

27 Puis, s’adressant à ses fils, il dit: Sellez-moi l’âne. Ils le sellèrent,

28 et il partit. Il trouva le cadavre étendu dans le chemin, et l’âne et le lion qui se tenaient à côté du cadavre. Le lion n’avait pas dévoré le cadavre et n’avait pas déchiré l’âne.
