1 Kings 14:15 in Context — 1 Kings 14
13 Tout Israël le pleurera, et on l’enterrera; car il est le seul de la maison de Jéroboam qui sera mis dans un sépulcre, parce qu’il est le seul de la maison de Jéroboam en qui se soit trouvé quelque chose de bon devant l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël.
14 L’Éternel établira sur Israël un roi qui exterminera la maison de Jéroboam ce jour-là. Et n’est-ce pas déjà ce qui arrive?
15 L’Éternel frappera Israël, et il en sera de lui comme du roseau qui est agité dans les eaux; il arrachera Israël de ce bon pays qu’il avait donné à leurs pères, et il les dispersera de l’autre côté du fleuve, parce qu’ils se sont fait des idoles, irritant l’Éternel.
16 Il livrera Israël à cause des péchés que Jéroboam a commis et qu’il a fait commettre à Israël.
17 La femme de Jéroboam se leva, et partit. Elle arriva à Thirtsa; et, comme elle atteignait le seuil de la maison, l’enfant mourut.
