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!

21 Maintenant voici, je sais que tu régneras, et que la royauté d’Israël restera entre tes mains.

22 Jure-moi donc par l’Éternel que tu ne détruiras pas ma postérité après moi, et que tu ne retrancheras pas mon nom de la maison de mon père.
