1 Samuel 22:20 in Context — 1 Samuel 22

18 Alors le roi dit à Doëg: Tourne-toi, et frappe les sacrificateurs. Et Doëg, l’Édomite, se tourna, et ce fut lui qui frappa les sacrificateurs; il fit mourir en ce jour quatre-vingt-cinq hommes portant l’éphod de lin.

19 Saül frappa encore du tranchant de l’épée Nob, ville sacerdotale; hommes et femmes, enfants et nourrissons, bœufs, ânes, et brebis, tombèrent sous le tranchant de l’épée.

20 Un fils d’Achimélec, fils d’Achithub, échappa. Son nom était Abiathar. Il s’enfuit auprès de David,

21 et lui rapporta que Saül avait tué les sacrificateurs de l’Éternel.

22 David dit à Abiathar: J’ai bien pensé ce jour même que Doëg, l’Édomite, se trouvant là, ne manquerait pas d’informer Saül. C’est moi qui suis cause de la mort de toutes les personnes de la maison de ton père.
