1 Kings 2:31 in Context — 1 Kings 2
29 On annonça au roi Salomon que Joab s’était réfugié vers la tente de l’Éternel, et qu’il était auprès de l’autel. Et Salomon envoya Benaja, fils de Jehojada, en lui disant: Va, frappe-le.
30 Benaja arriva à la tente de l’Éternel, et dit à Joab: Sors! C’est le roi qui l’ordonne. Mais il répondit: Non! Je veux mourir ici. Benaja rapporta la chose au roi, en disant: C’est ainsi qu’a parlé Joab, et c’est ainsi qu’il m’a répondu.
31 Le roi dit à Benaja: Fais comme il a dit, frappe-le, et enterre-le; tu ôteras ainsi de dessus moi et de dessus la maison de mon père le sang que Joab a répandu sans cause.
32 L’Éternel fera retomber son sang sur sa tête, parce qu’il a frappé deux hommes plus justes et meilleurs que lui et les a tués par l’épée, sans que mon père David le sût: Abner, fils de Ner, chef de l’armée d’Israël, et Amasa, fils de Jéther, chef de l’armée de Juda.
33 Leur sang retombera sur la tête de Joab et sur la tête de ses descendants à perpétuité; mais il y aura paix à toujours, de par l’Éternel, pour David, pour sa postérité, pour sa maison et pour son trône.
