1 Kings 2:26 in Context — 1 Kings 2
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.
25 Et le roi Salomon envoya Benaja, fils de Jehojada, qui le frappa; et Adonija mourut.
26 Le roi dit ensuite au sacrificateur Abiathar: Va-t’en à Anathoth dans tes terres, car tu mérites la mort; mais je ne te ferai pas mourir aujourd’hui, parce que tu as porté l’arche du Seigneur l’Éternel devant David, mon père, et parce que tu as eu part à toutes les souffrances de mon père.
27 Ainsi Salomon dépouilla Abiathar de ses fonctions de sacrificateur de l’Éternel, afin d’accomplir la parole que l’Éternel avait prononcée sur la maison d’Éli à Silo.
28 Le bruit en parvint à Joab, qui avait suivi le parti d’Adonija, quoiqu’il n’eût pas suivi le parti d’Absalom. Et Joab se réfugia vers la tente de l’Éternel, et saisit les cornes de l’autel.
