2 Kings 2:21 in Context — 2 Kings 2
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.
20 Il dit: Apportez-moi un plat neuf, et mettez-y du sel. Et ils le lui apportèrent.
21 Il alla vers la source des eaux, et il y jeta du sel, et dit: Ainsi parle l’Éternel: J’assainis ces eaux; il n’en proviendra plus ni mort, ni stérilité.
22 Et les eaux furent assainies, jusqu’à ce jour, selon la parole qu’Élisée avait prononcée.
23 Il monta de là à Béthel; et comme il cheminait à la montée, des petits garçons sortirent de la ville, et se moquèrent de lui. Ils lui disaient: Monte, chauve! Monte, chauve!
