1 Samuel 24:18 in Context — 1 Samuel 24

16 L’Éternel jugera et prononcera entre moi et toi; il regardera, il défendra ma cause, il me rendra justice en me délivrant de ta main.

17 Lorsque David eut fini d’adresser à Saül ces paroles, Saül dit: Est-ce bien ta voix, mon fils David? Et Saül éleva la voix et pleura.

18 Et il dit à David: Tu es plus juste que moi; car tu m’as fait du bien, et moi je t’ai fait du mal.

19 Tu manifestes aujourd’hui la bonté avec laquelle tu agis envers moi, puisque l’Éternel m’avait livré entre tes mains et que tu ne m’as pas tué.

20 Si quelqu’un rencontre son ennemi, le laisse-t-il poursuivre tranquillement son chemin? Que l’Éternel te récompense pour ce que tu m’as fait en ce jour!
