1 Kings 20:21 in Context — 1 Kings 20

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.

21 Le roi d’Israël sortit, frappa les chevaux et les chars, et fit éprouver aux Syriens une grande défaite.

22 Alors le prophète s’approcha du roi d’Israël, et lui dit: Va, fortifie toi, examine et vois ce que tu as à faire; car, au retour de l’année, le roi de Syrie montera contre toi.

23 Les serviteurs du roi de Syrie lui dirent: Leur dieu est un dieu de montagnes; c’est pourquoi ils ont été plus forts que nous. Mais combattons-les dans la plaine, et l’on verra si nous ne serons pas plus forts qu’eux.
