וַיֻּגַּ֗ד לְבֵ֤ית דָּוִד֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר נָ֥חָֽה אֲרָ֖ם עַל־אֶפְרָ֑יִם וַיָּ֤נַע לְבָבוֹ֙ וּלְבַ֣ב עַמּ֔וֹ כְּנ֥וֹעַ עֲצֵי־יַ֖עַר מִפְּנֵי־רֽוּחַ׃
Quand la maison de David apprit cette nouvelle: "Le Syrien est venu camper avec Ephraïm," son cœur et le cœur de son peuple en frissonnèrent, comme les arbres d’une forêt frissonnent sous le vent.
