1 Samuel 24:4 in Context — 1 Samuel 24
2 Lorsque Saül fut revenu de la poursuite des Philistins, on vint lui dire: Voici, David est dans le désert d’En-Guédi.
3 Saül prit trois mille hommes d’élite sur tout Israël, et il alla chercher David et ses gens jusque sur les rochers des boucs sauvages.
4 Il arriva à des parcs de brebis, qui étaient près du chemin; et là se trouvait une caverne, où il entra pour se couvrir les pieds. David et ses gens étaient au fond de la caverne.
5 Les gens de David lui dirent: Voici le jour où l’Éternel te dit: Je livre ton ennemi entre tes mains; traite-le comme bon te semblera. David se leva, et coupa doucement le pan du manteau de Saül.
6 Après cela le cœur lui battit, parce qu’il avait coupé le pan du manteau de Saül.
