1 Chronicles 19:5 in Context — 1 Chronicles 19

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.

6 Les fils d’Ammon virent qu’ils s’étaient rendus odieux à David, et Hanun et les fils d’Ammon envoyèrent mille talents d’argent pour prendre à leur solde des chars et des cavaliers chez les Syriens de Mésopotamie et chez les Syriens de Maaca et de Tsoba.

7 Ils prirent à leur solde trente-deux mille chars et le roi de Maaca avec son peuple, lesquels vinrent camper devant Médeba. Les fils d’Ammon se rassemblèrent de leurs villes, et marchèrent au combat.
