2 Rois 1:16

Ainsi a dit l'Éternel: Parce que tu as envoyé des messagers pour consulter Baal-Zébub, dieu d'Ékron, comme s'il n'y avait point de Dieu en Israël pour consulter sa parole, tu ne descendras point du lit sur lequel tu es monté; mais certainement tu mourras!

Darby's French Translation
Et il lui dit: Ainsi dit l'Éternel: Puisque tu as envoyé des messagers pour consulter Baal-Zebub, dieu d'Ékron, est-ce parce qu'il n'y avait point de Dieu en Israël pour consulter sa parole?... c'est pourquoi tu ne descendras pas du lit sur lequel tu es monté; car tu mourras certainement.
Louis Segond (1910)
Il lui dit: Ainsi parle l'Eternel: Parce que tu as envoyé des messagers pour consulter Baal-Zebub, dieu d'Ekron, comme s'il n'y avait en Israël point de Dieu dont on puisse consulter la parole, tu ne descendras pas du lit sur lequel tu es monté, car tu mourras.
La Bible David Martin (1744)
Et lui dit : Ainsi a dit l'Eternel : Parce que tu as envoyé des messagers pour consulter Bahal-zébub dieu de Hékron, comme s'il n'y avait point de Dieu en Israël, pour consulter sa parole : tu ne descendras point du lit sur lequel tu es monté, mais certainement tu mourras.

See note on Genesis 49:4. 2 Kings 5:21, Psalms 132:3
