1 Samuel 20:7 in Context — 1 Samuel 20

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?

9 Jonathan lui dit: Loin de toi la pensée que je ne t’informerai pas, si j’apprends que le mal est résolu de la part de mon père et menace de t’atteindre!
