2 Kings 3:25 in Context — 2 Kings 3

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.

26 Le roi de Moab, voyant qu’il avait le dessous dans le combat, prit avec lui sept cents hommes tirant l’épée pour se frayer un passage jusqu’au roi d’Édom; mais ils ne purent pas.

27 Il prit alors son fils premier-né, qui devait régner à sa place, et il l’offrit en holocauste sur la muraille. Et une grande indignation s’empara d’Israël, qui s’éloigna du roi de Moab et retourna dans son pays.
