2 Rois 9:21

21 Alors Joram dit: Attelle! Et on attela son char. Ainsi Joram, roi d'Israël, sortit avec Achazia, roi de Juda, chacun dans son char, et ils s'avancèrent à la rencontre de Jéhu, et le rencontrèrent dans le champ de Naboth, le Jizréélite.

2 Rois 9:21 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 9:21

And Joram said, make ready
The chariot, put to the horses; bind them, as the word signifies, to the chariot: and his chariot was made ready;
by his servants immediately: and Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in
his chariot;
not both in the same chariot, but each in his own, for the sake of greater magnificence: and they went out against Jehu;
not in an hostile manner, for they had no notion of him as an enemy; though it is much they had no suspicion of him by his detaining the messengers; but Joram perhaps thought he was desirous of delivering his message himself; and in honour to him, and also being eager to know what it was, went out to meet him: and met him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite;
which had been his, and where, or near it, he was stoned, and his blood shed; a very inauspicious place to meet him in.

2 Rois 9:21 In-Context

19 Et on envoya un second cavalier, qui vint à eux et dit: Ainsi dit le roi: Y a-t-il paix? Jéhu répliqua: Qu'as-tu à faire de paix? Passe derrière moi.

20 La sentinelle le rapporta encore, et dit: Il est allé jusqu'à eux, et il ne revient point; mais la manière de conduire a l'air de celle de Jéhu, fils de Nimshi; car il mène avec furie.

21 Alors Joram dit: Attelle! Et on attela son char. Ainsi Joram, roi d'Israël, sortit avec Achazia, roi de Juda, chacun dans son char, et ils s'avancèrent à la rencontre de Jéhu, et le rencontrèrent dans le champ de Naboth, le Jizréélite.

22 Et dès que Joram eut vu Jéhu, il dit: Y a-t-il paix, Jéhu? Mais Jéhu répondit: Quelle paix, tandis que les prostitutions de Jésabel, ta mère, et ses enchantements sont en si grand nombre?

23 Alors Joram tourna bride et s'enfuit, en disant à Achazia: Trahison, Achazia!
