1 Samuel 20:6 in Context — 1 Samuel 20
4 Jonathan dit à David: Je ferai pour toi ce que tu voudras.
5 Et David lui répondit: Voici, c’est demain la nouvelle lune, et je devrais m’asseoir avec le roi pour manger; laisse-moi aller, et je me cacherai dans les champs jusqu’au soir du troisième jour.
6 Si ton père remarque mon absence, tu diras: David m’a prié de lui laisser faire une course à Bethléhem, sa ville, parce qu’il y a pour toute la famille un sacrifice annuel.
7 Et s’il dit: C’est bien! Ton serviteur alors n’a rien à craindre; mais si la colère s’empare de lui, sache que le mal est résolu de sa part.
8 Montre donc ton affection pour ton serviteur, puisque tu as fait avec ton serviteur une alliance devant l’Éternel. Et, s’il y a quelque crime en moi, ôte-moi la vie toi-même, car pourquoi me mènerais-tu jusqu’à ton père?
