1 Samuel 24:5 in Context — 1 Samuel 24

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.

7 Et il dit à ses gens: Que l’Éternel me garde de commettre contre mon seigneur, l’oint de l’Éternel, une action telle que de porter ma main sur lui! Car il est l’oint de l’Éternel.
