1 Kings 13:4 in Context — 1 Kings 13
2 Il cria contre l’autel, par la parole de l’Éternel, et il dit: Autel! Autel! Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Voici, il naîtra un fils à la maison de David; son nom sera Josias; il immolera sur toi les prêtres des hauts lieux qui brûlent sur toi des parfums, et l’on brûlera sur toi des ossements d’hommes!
3 Et le même jour il donna un signe, en disant: C’est ici le signe que l’Éternel a parlé: Voici, l’autel se fendra, et la cendre qui est dessus sera répandue.
4 Lorsque le roi entendit la parole que l’homme de Dieu avait criée contre l’autel de Béthel, il avança la main de dessus l’autel, en disant: Saisissez-le! Et la main que Jéroboam avait étendue contre lui devint sèche, et il ne put la ramener à soi.
5 L’autel se fendit, et la cendre qui était dessus fut répandue, selon le signe qu’avait donné l’homme de Dieu, par la parole de l’Éternel.
6 Alors le roi prit la parole, et dit à l’homme de Dieu: Implore l’Éternel, ton Dieu, et prie pour moi, afin que je puisse retirer ma main. L’homme de Dieu implora l’Éternel, et le roi put retirer sa main, qui fut comme auparavant.
