1 Kings 20:28 in Context — 1 Kings 20
26 L’année suivante, Ben-Hadad passa les Syriens en revue, et monta vers Aphek pour combattre Israël.
27 Les enfants d’Israël furent aussi passés en revue; ils reçurent des vivres, et ils marchèrent à la rencontre des Syriens. Ils campèrent vis-à-vis d’eux, semblables à deux petits troupeaux de chèvres, tandis que les Syriens remplissaient le pays.
28 L’homme de Dieu s’approcha, et dit au roi d’Israël: Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Parce que les Syriens ont dit: L’Éternel est un dieu des montagnes et non un dieu des vallées, je livrerai toute cette grande multitude entre tes mains, et vous saurez que je suis l’Éternel.
29 Ils campèrent sept jours en face les uns des autres. Le septième jour, le combat s’engagea, et les enfants d’Israël tuèrent aux Syriens cent mille hommes de pied en un jour.
30 Le reste s’enfuit à la ville d’Aphek, et la muraille tomba sur vingt-sept mille hommes qui restaient. Ben-Hadad s’était réfugié dans la ville, où il allait de chambre en chambre.
