2 Kings 9:22 in Context — 2 Kings 9
20 La sentinelle en donna avis, et dit: Il est allé jusqu’à eux, et il ne revient pas. Et le train est comme celui de Jéhu, fils de Nimschi, car il conduit d’une manière insensée.
21 Alors Joram dit: Attelle! Et on attela son char. Joram, roi d’Israël, et Achazia, roi de Juda, sortirent chacun dans son char pour aller au-devant de Jéhu, et ils le rencontrèrent dans le champ de Naboth de Jizreel.
22 Dès que Joram vit Jéhu, il dit: Est-ce la paix, Jéhu? Jéhu répondit: Quoi, la paix! Tant que durent les prostitutions de Jézabel, ta mère, et la multitude de ses sortilèges!
23 Joram tourna bride et s’enfuit, et il dit à Achazia: Trahison, Achazia!
24 Mais Jéhu saisit son arc, et il frappa Joram entre les épaules: la flèche sortit par le cœur, et Joram s’affaissa dans son char.
