2 Kings 6:23 in Context — 2 Kings 6

21 Le roi d’Israël, en les voyant, dit à Élisée: Frapperai-je, frapperai-je, mon père?

22 Tu ne frapperas point, répondit Élisée; est-ce que tu frappes ceux que tu fais prisonniers avec ton épée et avec ton arc? Donne-leur du pain et de l’eau, afin qu’ils mangent et boivent; et qu’ils s’en aillent ensuite vers leur maître.

23 Le roi d’Israël leur fit servir un grand repas, et ils mangèrent et burent; puis il les renvoya, et ils s’en allèrent vers leur maître. Et les troupes des Syriens ne revinrent plus sur le territoire d’Israël.

24 Après cela, Ben-Hadad, roi de Syrie, ayant rassemblé toute son armée, monta et assiégea Samarie.

25 Il y eut une grande famine dans Samarie; et ils la serrèrent tellement qu’une tête d’âne valait quatre-vingts sicles d’argent, et le quart d’un kab de fiente de pigeon cinq sicles d’argent.
