2 Kings 7:16 in Context — 2 Kings 7
14 On prit deux chars avec les chevaux, et le roi envoya des messagers sur les traces de l’armée des Syriens, en disant: Allez et voyez.
15 Ils allèrent après eux jusqu’au Jourdain; et voici, toute la route était pleine de vêtements et d’objets que les Syriens avaient jetés dans leur précipitation. Les messagers revinrent, et le rapportèrent au roi.
16 Le peuple sortit, et pilla le camp des Syriens. Et l’on eut une mesure de fleur de farine pour un sicle et deux mesures d’orge pour un sicle, selon la parole de l’Éternel.
17 Le roi avait remis la garde de la porte à l’officier sur la main duquel il s’appuyait; mais cet officier fut écrasé à la porte par le peuple et il mourut, selon la parole qu’avait prononcée l’homme de Dieu quand le roi était descendu vers lui.
18 L’homme de Dieu avait dit alors au roi: On aura deux mesures d’orge pour un sicle et une mesure de fleur de farine pour un sicle, demain, à cette heure, à la porte de Samarie.
