2 Kings 20:18 in Context — 2 Kings 20

16 Alors Ésaïe dit à Ézéchias: Écoute la parole de l’Éternel!

17 Voici, les temps viendront où l’on emportera à Babylone tout ce qui est dans ta maison et ce que tes pères ont amassé jusqu’à ce jour; il n’en restera rien, dit l’Éternel.

18 Et l’on prendra de tes fils, qui seront sortis de toi, que tu auras engendrés, pour en faire des eunuques dans le palais du roi de Babylone.

19 Ézéchias répondit à Ésaïe: La parole de l’Éternel, que tu as prononcée, est bonne. Et il ajouta: N’y aura-t-il pas paix et sécurité pendant ma vie?

20 Le reste des actions d’Ézéchias, tous ses exploits, et comment il fit l’étang et l’aqueduc, et amena les eaux dans la ville, cela n’est-il pas écrit dans le livre des Chroniques des rois de Juda?
