1 Samuel 24:7 in Context — 1 Samuel 24

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.

8 Par ces paroles David arrêta ses gens, et les empêcha de se jeter sur Saül. Puis Saül se leva pour sortir de la caverne, et continua son chemin.

9 Après cela, David se leva et sortit de la caverne. Il se mit alors à crier après Saül: O roi, mon seigneur! Saül regarda derrière lui, et David s’inclina le visage contre terre et se prosterna.
