1 Samuel 12:3 in Context — 1 Samuel 12
1 Samuel dit à tout Israël: Voici, j’ai écouté votre voix dans tout ce que vous m’avez dit, et j’ai établi un roi sur vous.
2 Et maintenant, voici le roi qui marchera devant vous. Pour moi, je suis vieux, j’ai blanchi, et mes fils sont avec vous; j’ai marché à votre tête, depuis ma jeunesse jusqu’à ce jour.
3 Me voici! Rendez témoignage contre moi, en présence de l’Éternel et en présence de son oint. De qui ai-je pris le bœuf et de qui ai-je pris l’âne? Qui ai-je opprimé, et qui ai-je traité durement? De qui ai-je reçu un présent, pour fermer les yeux sur lui? Je vous le rendrai.
4 Ils répondirent: Tu ne nous as point opprimés, et tu ne nous as point traités durement, et tu n’as rien reçu de la main de personne.
5 Il leur dit encore: L’Éternel est témoin contre vous, et son oint est témoin, en ce jour, que vous n’avez rien trouvé dans mes mains. Et ils répondirent: Ils en sont témoins.
