1 Samuel 25:21 in Context — 1 Samuel 25
19 et elle dit à ses serviteurs: Passez devant moi, je vais vous suivre. Elle ne dit rien à Nabal, son mari.
20 Montée sur un âne, elle descendit la montagne par un chemin couvert; et voici, David et ses gens descendaient en face d’elle, en sorte qu’elle les rencontra.
21 David avait dit: C’est bien en vain que j’ai gardé tout ce que cet homme a dans le désert, et que rien n’a été enlevé de tout ce qu’il possède; il m’a rendu le mal pour le bien.
22 Que Dieu traite son serviteur David dans toute sa rigueur, si je laisse subsister jusqu’à la lumière du matin qui que ce soit de tout ce qui appartient à Nabal!
23 Lorsque Abigaïl aperçut David, elle descendit rapidement de l’âne, tomba sur sa face en présence de David, et se prosterna contre terre.
