2 Kings 3:23 in Context — 2 Kings 3
21 Cependant, tous les Moabites ayant appris que les rois montaient pour les attaquer, on convoqua tous ceux en âge de porter les armes et même au-dessus, et ils se tinrent sur la frontière.
22 Ils se levèrent de bon matin, et quand le soleil brilla sur les eaux, les Moabites virent en face d’eux les eaux rouges comme du sang.
23 Ils dirent: C’est du sang! Les rois ont tiré l’épée entre eux, ils se sont frappés les uns les autres; maintenant, Moabites, au pillage!
24 Et ils marchèrent contre le camp d’Israël. Mais Israël se leva, et frappa Moab, qui prit la fuite devant eux. Ils pénétrèrent dans le pays, et frappèrent Moab.
25 Ils renversèrent les villes, ils jetèrent chacun des pierres dans tous les meilleurs champs et les en remplirent, ils bouchèrent toutes les sources d’eau, et ils abattirent tous les bons arbres; et les frondeurs enveloppèrent et battirent Kir-Haréseth, dont on ne laissa que les pierres.
