2 Kings 8:3 in Context — 2 Kings 8
1 Élisée dit à la femme dont il avait fait revivre le fils: Lève-toi, va t’en, toi et ta maison, et séjourne où tu pourras; car l’Éternel appelle la famine, et même elle vient sur le pays pour sept années.
2 La femme se leva, et elle fit selon la parole de l’homme de Dieu: elle s’en alla, elle et sa maison, et séjourna sept ans au pays des Philistins.
3 Au bout des sept ans, la femme revint du pays des Philistins, et elle alla implorer le roi au sujet de sa maison et de son champ.
4 Le roi s’entretenait avec Guéhazi, serviteur de l’homme de Dieu, et il disait: Raconte-moi, je te prie, toutes les grandes choses qu’Élisée a faites.
5 Et pendant qu’il racontait au roi comment Élisée avait rendu la vie à un mort, la femme dont Élisée avait fait revivre le fils vint implorer le roi au sujet de sa maison et de son champ. Guéhazi dit: O roi, mon seigneur, voici la femme, et voici son fils qu’Élisée a fait revivre.
