29 Et le roi jura, et dit: L’Éternel qui m’a délivré de toutes les détresses est vivant!

30 Ainsi que je te l’ai juré par l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël, en disant: Salomon, ton fils, régnera après moi, et il s’assiéra sur mon trône à ma place, ainsi ferai-je aujourd’hui.

31 Bath-Schéba s’inclina le visage contre terre, et se prosterna devant le roi. Et elle dit: Vive à jamais mon seigneur le roi David!
