2 Kings 14:9 in Context — 2 Kings 14
7 Il battit dix mille Édomites dans la vallée du sel; et durant la guerre, il prit Séla, et l’appela Joktheel, nom qu’elle a conservé jusqu’à ce jour.
8 Alors Amatsia envoya des messagers à Joas, fils de Joachaz, fils de Jéhu, roi d’Israël, pour lui dire: Viens, voyons-nous en face!
9 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.
10 Tu as battu les Édomites, et ton cœur s’élève. Jouis de ta gloire, et reste chez toi. Pourquoi t’engager dans une malheureuse entreprise, qui amènerait ta ruine et celle de Juda?
11 Mais Amatsia ne l’écouta pas. Et Joas, roi d’Israël, monta; et ils se virent en face, lui et Amatsia, roi de Juda, à Beth-Schémesch, qui est à Juda.
