1 Kings 14:6 in Context — 1 Kings 14

4 La femme de Jéroboam fit ainsi; elle se leva, alla à Silo, et entra dans la maison d’Achija. Achija ne pouvait plus voir, car il avait les yeux fixes par suite de la vieillesse.

5 L’Éternel avait dit à Achija: La femme de Jéroboam va venir te consulter au sujet de son fils, parce qu’il est malade. Tu lui parleras de telle et de telle manière. Quand elle arrivera, elle se donnera pour une autre.

6 Lorsque Achija entendit le bruit de ses pas, au moment où elle franchissait la porte, il dit: Entre, femme de Jéroboam; pourquoi veux-tu te donner pour une autre? Je suis chargé de t’annoncer des choses dures.

7 Va, dis à Jéroboam: Ainsi parle l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël: Je t’ai élevé du milieu du peuple, je t’ai établi chef de mon peuple d’Israël,

8 j’ai arraché le royaume de la maison de David et je te l’ai donné. Et tu n’as pas été comme mon serviteur David, qui a observé mes commandements et qui a marché après moi de tout son cœur, ne faisant que ce qui est droit à mes yeux.
