1 Chronicles 11:3 in Context — 1 Chronicles 11

1 Tout Israël s’assembla auprès de David à Hébron, en disant: Voici, nous sommes tes os et ta chair.

2 Autrefois déjà, même lorsque Saül était roi, c’était toi qui conduisais et qui ramenais Israël. L’Éternel, ton Dieu, t’a dit: Tu paîtras mon peuple d’Israël, et tu seras le chef de mon peuple d’Israël.

3 Ainsi tous les anciens d’Israël vinrent auprès du roi à Hébron, et David fit alliance avec eux à Hébron, devant l’Éternel. Ils oignirent David pour roi sur Israël, selon la parole de l’Éternel, prononcée par Samuel.

4 David marcha avec tout Israël sur Jérusalem, qui est Jebus. Là étaient les Jébusiens, habitants du pays.

5 Les habitants de Jebus dirent à David: Tu n’entreras point ici. Mais David s’empara de la forteresse de Sion: c’est la cité de David.
