1 Kings 20:18 in Context — 1 Kings 20
16 Ils firent une sortie à midi. Ben-Hadad buvait et s’enivrait sous les tentes avec les trente-deux rois, ses auxiliaires.
17 Les serviteurs des chefs des provinces sortirent les premiers. Ben-Hadad s’informa, et on lui fit ce rapport: Des hommes sont sortis de Samarie.
18 Il dit: S’ils sortent pour la paix, saisissez-les vivants; et s’ils sortent pour le combat, saisissez-les vivants.
19 Lorsque les serviteurs des chefs des provinces et l’armée qui les suivait furent sortis de la ville,
20 chacun frappa son homme, et les Syriens prirent la fuite. Israël les poursuivit. Ben-Hadad, roi de Syrie, se sauva sur un cheval, avec des cavaliers.
