2 Kings 8:13 in Context — 2 Kings 8
11 L’homme de Dieu arrêta son regard sur Hazaël, et le fixa longtemps, puis il pleura.
12 Hazaël dit: Pourquoi mon seigneur pleure-t-il? Et Élisée répondit: Parce que je sais le mal que tu feras aux enfants d’Israël; tu mettras le feu à leurs villes fortes, tu tueras avec l’épée leurs jeunes gens, tu écraseras leurs petits enfants, et tu fendras le ventre de leurs femmes enceintes.
13 Hazaël dit: Mais qu’est-ce que ton serviteur, ce chien, pour faire de si grandes choses? Et Élisée dit: L’Éternel m’a révélé que tu seras roi de Syrie.
14 Hazaël quitta Élisée, et revint auprès de son maître, qui lui dit: Que t’a dit Élisée? Et il répondit: Il m’a dit: Tu guériras!
15 Le lendemain, Hazaël prit une couverture, qu’il plongea dans l’eau, et il l’étendit sur le visage du roi, qui mourut. Et Hazaël régna à sa place.
