2 Kings 3:13 in Context — 2 Kings 3

11 Mais Josaphat dit: N’y a-t-il ici aucun prophète de l’Éternel, par qui nous puissions consulter l’Éternel? L’un des serviteurs du roi d’Israël répondit: Il y a ici Élisée, fils de Schaphath, qui versait l’eau sur les mains d’Élie.

12 Et Josaphat dit: La parole de l’Éternel est avec lui. Le roi d’Israël, Josaphat et le roi d’Édom, descendirent auprès de lui.

13 Élisée dit au roi d’Israël: Qu’y a-t-il entre moi et toi? Va vers les prophètes de ton père et vers les prophètes de ta mère. Et le roi d’Israël lui dit: Non! Car l’Éternel a appelé ces trois rois pour les livrer entre les mains de Moab.

14 Élisée dit: L’Éternel des armées, dont je suis le serviteur, est vivant! Si je n’avais égard à Josaphat, roi de Juda, je ne ferais aucune attention à toi et je ne te regarderais pas.

15 Maintenant, amenez-moi un joueur de harpe. Et comme le joueur de harpe jouait, la main de l’Éternel fut sur Élisée.
