1 Kings 2:3 in Context — 1 Kings 2

1 David approchait du moment de sa mort, et il donna ses ordres à Salomon, son fils, en disant:

2 Je m’en vais par le chemin de toute la terre. Fortifie-toi, et sois un homme!

3 Observe les commandements de l’Éternel, ton Dieu, en marchant dans ses voies, et en gardant ses lois, ses ordonnances, ses jugements et ses préceptes, selon ce qui est écrit dans la loi de Moïse, afin que tu réussisses dans tout ce que tu feras et partout où tu te tourneras,

4 et afin que l’Éternel accomplisse cette parole qu’il a prononcée sur moi: Si tes fils prennent garde à leur voie, en marchant avec fidélité devant moi, de tout leur cœur, et de toute leur âme, tu ne manqueras jamais d’un successeur sur le trône d’Israël.

5 Tu sais ce que m’a fait Joab, fils de Tseruja, ce qu’il a fait à deux chefs de l’armée d’Israël, à Abner, fils de Ner, et à Amasa, fils de Jéther. Il les a tués; il a versé pendant la paix le sang de la guerre, et il a mis le sang de la guerre sur la ceinture qu’il avait aux reins et sur la chaussure qu’il avait aux pieds.
