2 Kings 4:31 in Context — 2 Kings 4
29 Et Élisée dit à Guéhazi: Ceins tes reins, prends mon bâton dans ta main, et pars. Si tu rencontres quelqu’un, ne le salue pas; et si quelqu’un te salue, ne lui réponds pas. Tu mettras mon bâton sur le visage de l’enfant.
30 La mère de l’enfant dit: L’Éternel est vivant et ton âme est vivante! Je ne te quitterai point. Et il se leva et la suivit.
31 Guéhazi les avait devancés, et il avait mis le bâton sur le visage de l’enfant; mais il n’y eut ni voix ni signe d’attention. Il s’en retourna à la rencontre d’Élisée, et lui rapporta la chose, en disant: L’enfant ne s’est pas réveillé.
32 Lorsque Élisée arriva dans la maison, voici, l’enfant était mort, couché sur son lit.
33 Élisée entra et ferma la porte sur eux deux, et il pria l’Éternel.
