1 Samuel 13:12 in Context — 1 Samuel 13

10 Comme il achevait d’offrir l’holocauste, voici, Samuel arriva, et Saül sortit au-devant de lui pour le saluer.

11 Samuel dit: Qu’as-tu fait? Saül répondit: Lorsque j’ai vu que le peuple se dispersait loin de moi, que tu n’arrivais pas au terme fixé, et que les Philistins étaient assemblés à Micmasch,

12 je me suis dit: Les Philistins vont descendre contre moi à Guilgal, et je n’ai pas imploré l’Éternel! C’est alors que je me suis fait violence et que j’ai offert l’holocauste.

13 Samuel dit à Saül: Tu as agi en insensé, tu n’as pas observé le commandement que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, t’avait donné. L’Éternel aurait affermi pour toujours ton règne sur Israël;

14 et maintenant ton règne ne durera point. L’Éternel s’est choisi un homme selon son cœur, et l’Éternel l’a destiné à être le chef de son peuple, parce que tu n’as pas observé ce que l’Éternel t’avait commandé.
