1 Kings 14:8 in Context — 1 Kings 14

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.

9 Tu as agi plus mal que tous ceux qui ont été avant toi, tu es allé te faire d’autres dieux, et des images de fonte pour m’irriter, et tu m’as rejeté derrière ton dos!

10 Voilà pourquoi je vais faire venir le malheur sur la maison de Jéroboam; j’exterminerai quiconque appartient à Jéroboam, celui qui est esclave et celui qui est libre en Israël, et je balaierai la maison de Jéroboam comme on balaie les ordures, jusqu’à ce qu’elle ait disparu.
