1 Kings 3:4 in Context — 1 Kings 3

2 Le peuple ne sacrifiait que sur les hauts lieux, car jusqu’à cette époque il n’avait point été bâti de maison au nom de l’Éternel.

3 Salomon aimait l’Éternel, et suivait les coutumes de David, son père. Seulement c’était sur les hauts lieux qu’il offrait des sacrifices et des parfums.

4 Le roi se rendit à Gabaon pour y sacrifier, car c’était le principal des hauts lieux. Salomon offrit mille holocaustes sur l’autel.

5 A Gabaon, l’Éternel apparut en songe à Salomon pendant la nuit, et Dieu lui dit: Demande ce que tu veux que je te donne.

6 Salomon répondit: Tu as traité avec une grande bienveillance ton serviteur David, mon père, parce qu’il marchait en ta présence dans la fidélité, dans la justice, et dans la droiture de cœur envers toi; tu lui as conservé cette grande bienveillance, et tu lui as donné un fils qui est assis sur son trône, comme on le voit aujourd’hui.
