2 Kings 7:4 in Context — 2 Kings 7
2 L’officier sur la main duquel s’appuyait le roi répondit à l’homme de Dieu: Quand l’Éternel ferait des fenêtres au ciel, pareille chose arriverait-elle? Et Élisée dit: Tu le verras de tes yeux; mais tu n’en mangeras point.
3 Il y avait à l’entrée de la porte quatre lépreux, qui se dirent l’un à l’autre: Quoi! Resterons-nous ici jusqu’à ce que nous mourions?
4 Si nous songeons à entrer dans la ville, la famine est dans la ville, et nous y mourrons; et si nous restons ici, nous mourrons également. Allons nous jeter dans le camp des Syriens; s’ils nous laissent vivre, nous vivrons et s’ils nous font mourir, nous mourrons.
5 Ils partirent donc au crépuscule, pour se rendre au camp des Syriens; et lorsqu’ils furent arrivés à l’entrée du camp des Syriens, voici, il n’y avait personne.
6 Le Seigneur avait fait entendre dans le camp des Syriens un bruit de chars et un bruit de chevaux, le bruit d’une grande armée, et ils s’étaient dit l’un à l’autre: Voici, le roi d’Israël a pris à sa solde contre nous les rois des Héthiens et les rois des Égyptiens pour venir nous attaquer.
