1 Kings 2:22 in Context — 1 Kings 2
20 Puis elle dit: J’ai une petite demande à te faire: ne me la refuse pas! Et le roi lui dit: Demande, ma mère, car je ne te refuserai pas.
21 Elle dit: Qu’Abischag, la Sunamite, soit donnée pour femme à Adonija, ton frère.
22 Le roi Salomon répondit à sa mère: Pourquoi demandes-tu Abischag, la Sunamite, pour Adonija? Demande donc la royauté pour lui, car il est mon frère aîné, pour lui, pour le sacrificateur Abiathar, et pour Joab, fils de Tseruja!
23 Alors le roi Salomon jura par l’Éternel, en disant: Que Dieu me traite dans toute sa rigueur, si ce n’est pas au prix de sa vie qu’Adonija a prononcé cette parole!
24 Maintenant, l’Éternel est vivant, lui qui m’a affermi et m’a fait asseoir sur le trône de David, mon père, et qui m’a fait une maison selon sa promesse! Aujourd’hui Adonija mourra.
