2 Kings 10:8 in Context — 2 Kings 10
6 Jéhu leur écrivit une seconde lettre où il était dit: Si vous êtes à moi et si vous obéissez à ma voix, prenez les têtes de ces hommes, fils de votre maître, et venez auprès de moi demain à cette heure, à Jizreel. Or les soixante-dix fils du roi étaient chez les grands de la ville, qui les élevaient.
7 Quand la lettre leur fut parvenue, ils prirent les fils du roi, et ils égorgèrent ces soixante-dix hommes; puis ils mirent leurs têtes dans des corbeilles, et les envoyèrent à Jéhu, à Jizreel.
8 Le messager vint l’en informer, en disant: Ils ont apporté les têtes des fils du roi. Et il dit: Mettez-les en deux tas à l’entrée de la porte, jusqu’au matin.
9 Le matin, il sortit; et se présentant à tout le peuple, il dit: Vous êtes justes! Voici, moi, j’ai conspiré contre mon maître et je l’ai tué; mais qui a frappé tous ceux-ci?
10 Sachez donc qu’il ne tombera rien à terre de la parole de l’Éternel, de la parole que l’Éternel a prononcée contre la maison d’Achab; l’Éternel accomplit ce qu’il a déclaré par son serviteur Élie.
