1 Kings 20:7 in Context — 1 Kings 20

5 Les messagers retournèrent, et dirent: Ainsi parle Ben-Hadad: Je t’ai fait dire: Tu me livreras ton argent et ton or, tes femmes et tes enfants.

6 J’enverrai donc demain, à cette heure, mes serviteurs chez toi; ils fouilleront ta maison et les maisons de tes serviteurs, ils mettront la main sur tout ce que tu as de précieux, et ils l’emporteront.

7 Le roi d’Israël appela tous les anciens du pays, et il dit: Sentez bien et comprenez que cet homme nous veut du mal; car il m’a envoyé demander mes femmes et mes enfants, mon argent et mon or, et je ne lui avais pas refusé!

8 Tous les anciens et tout le peuple dirent à Achab: Ne l’écoute pas et ne consens pas.

9 Et il dit aux messagers de Ben-Hadad: Dites à mon seigneur le roi: Je ferai tout ce que tu as envoyé demander à ton serviteur la première fois; mais pour cette chose, je ne puis pas la faire. Les messagers s’en allèrent, et lui portèrent la réponse.
