1 Kings 14:17 in Context — 1 Kings 14

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.

18 On l’enterra, et tout Israël le pleura, selon la parole que l’Éternel avait dite par son serviteur Achija, le prophète.

19 Le reste des actions de Jéroboam, comment il fit la guerre et comment il régna, cela est écrit dans le livre des Chroniques des rois d’Israël.
