2 Chronicles 10:14 in Context — 2 Chronicles 10

12 Jéroboam et tout le peuple vinrent à Roboam le troisième jour, suivant ce qu’avait dit le roi: Revenez vers moi dans trois jours.

13 Le roi leur répondit durement. Le roi Roboam laissa le conseil des vieillards,

14 et leur parla ainsi d’après le conseil des jeunes gens: Mon père a rendu votre joug pesant, et moi je le rendrai plus pesant; mon père vous a châtiés avec des fouets, et moi je vous châtierai avec des scorpions.

15 Ainsi le roi n’écouta point le peuple; car cela fut dirigé par Dieu, en vue de l’accomplissement de la parole que l’Éternel avait dite par Achija de Silo à Jéroboam, fils de Nebath.

16 Lorsque tout Israël vit que le roi ne l’écoutait pas, le peuple répondit au roi: Quelle part avons-nous avec David? Nous n’avons point d’héritage avec le fils d’Isaï! A tes tentes, Israël! Maintenant, pourvois à ta maison, David! Et tout Israël s’en alla dans ses tentes.
