1 Kings 2:7 in Context — 1 Kings 2
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.
6 Tu agiras selon ta sagesse, et tu ne laisseras pas ses cheveux blancs descendre en paix dans le séjour des morts.
7 Tu traiteras avec bienveillance les fils de Barzillaï, le Galaadite, et ils seront de ceux qui se nourrissent de ta table; car ils ont agi de la même manière à mon égard, en venant au-devant de moi lorsque je fuyais Absalom, ton frère.
8 Voici, tu as près de toi Schimeï, fils de Guéra, Benjamite, de Bachurim. Il a prononcé contre moi des malédictions violentes le jour où j’allais à Mahanaïm. Mais il descendit à ma rencontre vers le Jourdain, et je lui jurai par l’Éternel, en disant: Je ne te ferai point mourir par l’épée.
9 Maintenant, tu ne le laisseras pas impuni; car tu es un homme sage, et tu sais comment tu dois le traiter. Tu feras descendre ensanglantés ses cheveux blancs dans le séjour des morts.
