Joshua 10:2 in Context — Joshua 10

1 Adoni-Tsédek, roi de Jérusalem, apprit que Josué s’était emparé d’Aï et l’avait dévouée par interdit, qu’il avait traité Aï et son roi comme il avait traité Jéricho et son roi, et que les habitants de Gabaon avaient fait la paix avec Israël et étaient au milieu d’eux.

2 Il eut alors une forte crainte; car Gabaon était une grande ville, comme une des villes royales, plus grande même qu’Aï, et tous ses hommes étaient vaillants.

3 Adoni-Tsédek, roi de Jérusalem, fit dire à Hoham, roi d’Hébron, à Piream, roi de Jarmuth, à Japhia, roi de Lakis, et à Debir, roi d’Églon:

4 Montez vers moi, et aidez-moi, afin que nous frappions Gabaon, car elle a fait la paix avec Josué et avec les enfants d’Israël.
