2 Kings 20:12 in Context — 2 Kings 20
10 Ézéchias répondit: C’est peu de chose que l’ombre avance de dix degrés; mais plutôt qu’elle recule de dix degrés.
11 Alors Ésaïe, le prophète, invoqua l’Éternel, qui fit reculer l’ombre de dix degrés sur les degrés d’Achaz, où elle était descendue.
12 En ce même temps, Berodac-Baladan, fils de Baladan, roi de Babylone, envoya une lettre et un présent à Ézéchias, car il avait appris la maladie d’Ézéchias.
13 Ézéchias donna audience aux envoyés, et il leur montra le lieu où étaient ses choses de prix, l’argent et l’or, les aromates et l’huile précieuse, son arsenal, et tout ce qui se trouvait dans ses trésors: il n’y eut rien qu’Ézéchias ne leur fît voir dans sa maison et dans tous ses domaines.
14 Ésaïe, le prophète, vint ensuite auprès du roi Ézéchias, et lui dit: Qu’ont dit ces gens-là, et d’où sont-ils venus vers toi? Ézéchias répondit: Ils sont venus d’un pays éloigné, de Babylone.
