1 Kings 15:4 in Context — 1 Kings 15

2 Il régna trois ans à Jérusalem. Sa mère s’appelait Maaca, fille d’Abisalom.

3 Il se livra à tous les péchés que son père avait commis avant lui; et son cœur ne fut point tout entier à l’Éternel, son Dieu, comme l’avait été le cœur de David, son père.

4 Mais à cause de David, l’Éternel, son Dieu, lui donna une lampe à Jérusalem, en établissant son fils après lui et en laissant subsister Jérusalem.

5 Car David avait fait ce qui est droit aux yeux de l’Éternel, et il ne s’était détourné d’aucun de ses commandements pendant toute sa vie, excepté dans l’affaire d’Urie, le Héthien.

6 Il y eut guerre entre Roboam et Jéroboam, tant que vécut Roboam.
