1 Samuel 21:9 in Context — 1 Samuel 21

7 Là, ce même jour, un homme d’entre les serviteurs de Saül se trouvait enfermé devant l’Éternel; c’était un Édomite, nommé Doëg, chef des bergers de Saül.

8 David dit à Achimélec: N’as-tu pas sous la main une lance ou une épée? Car je n’ai pris avec moi ni mon épée ni mes armes, parce que l’ordre du roi était pressant.

9 Le sacrificateur répondit: Voici l’épée de Goliath, le Philistin, que tu as tué dans la vallée des térébinthes; elle est enveloppée dans un drap, derrière l’éphod; si tu veux la prendre, prends-la, car il n’y en a pas d’autre ici. Et David dit: Il n’y en a point de pareille; donne-la-moi.

10 David se leva et s’enfuit le même jour loin de Saül. Il arriva chez Akisch, roi de Gath.

11 Les serviteurs d’Akisch lui dirent: N’est-ce pas là David, roi du pays? N’est-ce pas celui pour qui l’on chantait en dansant: Saül a frappé ses mille, Et David ses dix mille?
