1 Rois 9:9

Et l'on répondra: Parce qu'ils ont abandonné l'Eternel, leur Dieu, qui a fait sortir leurs pères du pays d'Egypte, parce qu'ils se sont attachés à d'autres dieux, se sont prosternés devant eux et les ont servis; voilà pourquoi l'Eternel a fait venir sur eux tous ces maux.

La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Et on répondra: Parce qu'ils ont abandonné l'Éternel leur Dieu, qui avait tiré leurs pères hors du pays d'Égypte, et qu'ils se sont attachés à d'autres dieux; qu'ils se sont prosternés devant eux et les ont servis; c'est pour cela que l'Éternel a fait venir sur eux tous ces maux.
Darby's French Translation
Et on dira: Parce qu'ils ont abandonné l'Éternel, leur Dieu, qui fit sortir leurs pères du pays d'Égypte, et qu'ils se sont attachés à d'autres dieux, et se sont prosternés devant eux et les ont servis: c'est pourquoi l'Éternel a fait venir sur eux tout ce mal.
La Bible David Martin (1744)

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they shall answer,.... Who were left in the land when others were carried captive, as were some by Nebuchadnezzar, and who were capable of making the following answer:

because they forsook the Lord; the worship of the Lord their God, as the Targum:

who brought forth their fathers out of the land Egypt; which is observed as an aggravation of their sin:

and have taken hold upon other gods: the gods of the people, as the Targum; of the Gentiles, who knew not the true God:

and have worshipped them, and served them: even idols of gold and silver, wood and stone; an instance of judicial blindness they were left unto, who had been favoured with a revelation from God:

therefore hath the Lord brought upon them all this evil; their idolatry was the cause of it, than which nothing is more provoking to God.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 9:9. Have taken hold upon other gods — When an indigent person claims the protection of a superior, he casts himself down before him, and lays hold of his feet; and this expression is frequently used when there is no prostration: I have taken hold of thy feet. When a person is called into the presence of the Burman monarch, he is said to go to the golden foot. - WARD'S Customs.
