1 Chronicles 19:3 in Context — 1 Chronicles 19

1 Après cela, Nachasch, roi des fils d’Ammon, mourut, et son fils régna à sa place.

2 David dit: Je montrerai de la bienveillance à Hanun, fils de Nachasch, car son père en a montré à mon égard. Et David envoya des messagers pour le consoler au sujet de son père. Lorsque les serviteurs de David arrivèrent dans le pays des fils d’Ammon auprès de Hanun, pour le consoler,

3 les chefs des fils d’Ammon dirent à Hanun: Penses-tu que ce soit pour honorer ton père que David t’envoie des consolateurs? N’est-ce pas pour reconnaître la ville et pour la détruire, et pour explorer le pays, que ses serviteurs sont venus auprès de toi?

4 Alors Hanun saisit les serviteurs de David, les fit raser, et fit couper leurs habits par le milieu jusqu’au haut des cuisses. Puis il les congédia.

5 David, que l’on vint informer de ce qui était arrivé à ces hommes, envoya des gens à leur rencontre, car ils étaient dans une grande confusion; et le roi leur fit dire: Restez à Jéricho jusqu’à ce que votre barbe ait repoussé, et revenez ensuite.
