2 Kings 1:8 in Context — 2 Kings 1
6 Ils lui répondirent: Un homme est monté à notre rencontre, et nous a dit: Allez, retournez vers le roi qui vous a envoyés, et dites-lui: Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Est-ce parce qu’il n’y a point de Dieu en Israël que tu envoies consulter Baal-Zebub, dieu d’Ékron? C’est pourquoi tu ne descendras pas du lit sur lequel tu es monté, car tu mourras.
7 Achazia leur dit: Quel air avait l’homme qui est monté à votre rencontre et qui vous a dit ces paroles?
8 Ils lui répondirent: C’était un homme vêtu de poil et ayant une ceinture de cuir autour des reins. Et Achazia dit: C’est Élie, le Thischbite.
9 Il envoya vers lui un chef de cinquante avec ses cinquante hommes. Ce chef monta auprès d’Élie, qui était assis sur le sommet de la montagne, et il lui dit: Homme de Dieu, le roi a dit: Descends!
10 Élie répondit au chef de cinquante: Si je suis un homme de Dieu, que le feu descende du ciel et te consume, toi et tes cinquante hommes! Et le feu descendit du ciel et le consuma, lui et ses cinquante hommes.
