1 Samuel 20:9 in Context — 1 Samuel 20
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!
10 David dit à Jonathan: Qui m’informera dans le cas où ton père te répondrait durement?
11 Et Jonathan dit à David: Viens, sortons dans les champs. Et ils sortirent tous deux dans les champs.
