2 Kings 13:4 in Context — 2 Kings 13

2 Il fit ce qui est mal aux yeux de l’Éternel; il commit les mêmes péchés que Jéroboam, fils de Nebath, qui avait fait pécher Israël, et il ne s’en détourna point.

3 La colère de l’Éternel s’enflamma contre Israël, et il les livra entre les mains de Hazaël, roi de Syrie, et entre les mains de Ben-Hadad, fils de Hazaël, tout le temps que ces rois vécurent.

4 Joachaz implora l’Éternel. L’Éternel l’exauça, car il vit l’oppression sous laquelle le roi de Syrie tenait Israël,

5 et l’Éternel donna un libérateur à Israël. Les enfants d’Israël échappèrent aux mains des Syriens, et ils habitèrent dans leurs tentes comme auparavant.

6 Mais ils ne se détournèrent point des péchés de la maison de Jéroboam, qui avait fait pécher Israël; ils s’y livrèrent aussi, et même l’idole d’Astarté était debout à Samarie.
