1 Kings 20:33 in Context — 1 Kings 20

31 Ses serviteurs lui dirent: Voici, nous avons appris que les rois de la maison d’Israël sont des rois miséricordieux; nous allons mettre des sacs sur nos reins et des cordes à nos têtes, et nous sortirons vers le roi d’Israël: peut-être qu’il te laissera la vie.

32 Ils se mirent des sacs autour des reins et des cordes autour de la tête, et ils allèrent auprès du roi d’Israël. Ils dirent: Ton serviteur Ben-Hadad dit: Laisse-moi la vie! Achab répondit: Est-il encore vivant? Il est mon frère.

33 Ces hommes tirèrent de là un bon augure, et ils se hâtèrent de le prendre au mot et de dire: Ben-Hadad est ton frère! Et il dit: Allez, amenez-le. Ben-Hadad vint vers lui, et Achab le fit monter sur son char.

34 Ben-Hadad lui dit: Je te rendrai les villes que mon père a prises à ton père; et tu établiras pour toi des rues à Damas, comme mon père en avait établi à Samarie. Et moi, reprit Achab, je te laisserai aller, en faisant une alliance. Il fit alliance avec lui, et le laissa aller.

35 L’un des fils des prophètes dit à son compagnon, d’après l’ordre de l’Éternel: Frappe-moi, je te prie! Mais cet homme refusa de le frapper.
