2 Kings 2:17 in Context — 2 Kings 2
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.
18 Lorsqu’ils furent de retour auprès d’Élisée, qui était à Jéricho, il leur dit: Ne vous avais-je pas dit: N’allez pas?
19 Les gens de la ville dirent à Élisée: Voici, le séjour de la ville est bon, comme le voit mon seigneur; mais les eaux sont mauvaises, et le pays est stérile.
