2 Chronicles 25:16 in Context — 2 Chronicles 25
14 Lorsqu’Amatsia fut de retour après la défaite des Édomites, il fit venir les dieux des fils de Séir, et se les établit pour dieux; il se prosterna devant eux, et leur offrit des parfums.
15 Alors la colère de l’Éternel s’enflamma contre Amatsia, et il envoya vers lui un prophète, qui lui dit: Pourquoi as-tu recherché les dieux de ce peuple, quand ils n’ont pu délivrer leur peuple de ta main?
16 Comme il parlait, Amatsia lui dit: Est-ce que nous t’avons fait conseiller du roi? Retire-toi! Pourquoi veux-tu qu’on te frappe? Le prophète se retira, en disant: Je sais que Dieu a résolu de te détruire, parce que tu as fait cela et que tu n’as pas écouté mon conseil.
17 Après s’être consulté, Amatsia, roi de Juda, envoya dire à Joas, fils de Joachaz, fils de Jéhu, roi d’Israël: Viens, voyons-nous en face!
18 Et Joas, roi d’Israël, fit dire à Amatsia, roi de Juda: L’épine du Liban envoya dire au cèdre du Liban: Donne ta fille pour femme à mon fils! Et les bêtes sauvages qui sont au Liban passèrent et foulèrent l’épine.
