1 Samuel 23:15 in Context — 1 Samuel 23

13 Alors David se leva avec ses gens au nombre d’environ six cents hommes; ils sortirent de Keïla, et s’en allèrent où ils purent. Saül, informé que David s’était sauvé de Keïla, suspendit sa marche.

14 David demeura au désert, dans des lieux forts, et il resta sur la montagne du désert de Ziph. Saül le cherchait toujours, mais Dieu ne le livra pas entre ses mains.

15 David, voyant Saül en marche pour attenter à sa vie, se tint au désert de Ziph, dans la forêt.

16 Ce fut alors que Jonathan, fils de Saül, se leva et alla vers David dans la forêt. Il fortifia sa confiance en Dieu,

17 et lui dit: Ne crains rien, car la main de Saül, mon père, ne t’atteindra pas. Tu régneras sur Israël, et moi je serai au second rang près de toi; Saül, mon père, le sait bien aussi.
