2 Kings 2:15 in Context — 2 Kings 2
13 et il releva le manteau qu’Élie avait laissé tomber. Puis il retourna, et s’arrêta au bord du Jourdain;
14 il prit le manteau qu’Élie avait laissé tomber, et il en frappa les eaux, et dit: Où est l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Élie? Lui aussi, il frappa les eaux, qui se partagèrent çà et là, et Élisée passa.
15 Les fils des prophètes qui étaient à Jéricho, vis-à-vis, l’ayant vu, dirent: L’esprit d’Élie repose sur Élisée! Et ils allèrent à sa rencontre, et se prosternèrent contre terre devant lui.
16 Ils lui dirent: Voici, il y a parmi tes serviteurs cinquante hommes vaillants; veux-tu qu’ils aillent chercher ton maître? Peut-être que l’esprit de l’Éternel l’a emporté et l’a jeté sur quelque montagne ou dans quelque vallée. Il répondit: Ne les envoyez pas.
17 Mais ils le pressèrent longtemps; et il dit: Envoyez-les. Ils envoyèrent les cinquante hommes, qui cherchèrent Élie pendant trois jours et ne le trouvèrent point.
