1 Kings 20:14 in Context — 1 Kings 20
12 Lorsque Ben-Hadad reçut cette réponse, il était à boire avec les rois sous les tentes, et il dit à ses serviteurs: Faites vos préparatifs! Et ils firent leurs préparatifs contre la ville.
13 Mais voici, un prophète s’approcha d’Achab, roi d’Israël, et il dit: Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Vois-tu toute cette grande multitude? Je vais la livrer aujourd’hui entre tes mains, et tu sauras que je suis l’Éternel.
14 Achab dit: Par qui? Et il répondit: Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Par les serviteurs des chefs des provinces. Achab dit: Qui engagera le combat? Et il répondit: Toi.
15 Alors Achab passa en revue les serviteurs des chefs des provinces, et il s’en trouva deux cent trente-deux; et après eux, il passa en revue tout le peuple, tous les enfants d’Israël, et ils étaient sept mille.
16 Ils firent une sortie à midi. Ben-Hadad buvait et s’enivrait sous les tentes avec les trente-deux rois, ses auxiliaires.
