1 Samuel 13:14 in Context — 1 Samuel 13

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.

15 Puis Samuel se leva, et monta de Guilgal à Guibea de Benjamin. Saül fit la revue du peuple qui se trouvait avec lui: il y avait environ six cents hommes.

16 Saül, son fils Jonathan, et le peuple qui se trouvait avec eux, avaient pris position à Guéba de Benjamin, et les Philistins campaient à Micmasch.
