1 Samuel 12:17 in Context — 1 Samuel 12
15 Mais si vous n’obéissez pas à la voix de l’Éternel, et si vous êtes rebelles à la parole de l’Éternel, la main de l’Éternel sera contre vous, comme elle a été contre vos pères.
16 Attendez encore ici, et voyez le prodige que l’Éternel va opérer sous vos yeux.
17 Ne sommes-nous pas à la moisson des blés? J’invoquerai l’Éternel, et il enverra du tonnerre et de la pluie. Sachez alors et voyez combien vous avez eu tort aux yeux de l’Éternel de demander pour vous un roi.
18 Samuel invoqua l’Éternel, et l’Éternel envoya ce même jour du tonnerre et de la pluie. Tout le peuple eut une grande crainte de l’Éternel et de Samuel.
19 Et tout le peuple dit à Samuel: Prie l’Éternel, ton Dieu, pour tes serviteurs, afin que nous ne mourions pas; car nous avons ajouté à tous nos péchés le tort de demander pour nous un roi.
