1 Samuel 7:3 in Context — 1 Samuel 7

1 Les gens de Kirjath-Jearim vinrent, et firent monter l’arche de l’Éternel; ils la conduisirent dans la maison d’Abinadab, sur la colline, et ils consacrèrent son fils Éléazar pour garder l’arche de l’Éternel.

2 Il s’était passé bien du temps depuis le jour où l’arche avait été déposée à Kirjath-Jearim. Vingt années s’étaient écoulées. Alors toute la maison d’Israël poussa des gémissements vers l’Éternel.

3 Samuel dit à toute la maison d’Israël: Si c’est de tout votre cœur que vous revenez à l’Éternel, ôtez du milieu de vous les dieux étrangers et les Astartés, dirigez votre cœur vers l’Éternel, et servez-le lui seul; et il vous délivrera de la main des Philistins.

4 Et les enfants d’Israël ôtèrent du milieu d’eux les Baals et les Astartés, et ils servirent l’Éternel seul.

5 Samuel dit: Assemblez tout Israël à Mitspa, et je prierai l’Éternel pour vous.
