1 Kings 2:33 in Context — 1 Kings 2

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.

34 Benaja, fils de Jehojada, monta, frappa Joab, et le fit mourir. Il fut enterré dans sa maison, au désert.

35 Le roi mit à la tête de l’armée Benaja, fils de Jehojada, en remplacement de Joab, et il mit le sacrificateur Tsadok à la place d’Abiathar.
