1 Samuel 26:19 in Context — 1 Samuel 26
17 Saül reconnut la voix de David, et dit: Est-ce bien ta voix, mon fils David? Et David répondit: C’est ma voix, ô roi, mon seigneur!
18 Et il dit: Pourquoi mon seigneur poursuit-il son serviteur? Qu’ai-je fait, et de quoi suis-je coupable?
19 Que le roi, mon seigneur, daigne maintenant écouter les paroles de son serviteur: si c’est l’Éternel qui t’excite contre moi, qu’il agrée le parfum d’une offrande; mais si ce sont des hommes, qu’ils soient maudits devant l’Éternel, puisqu’ils me chassent aujourd’hui pour me détacher de l’héritage de l’Éternel, et qu’ils me disent: Va servir des dieux étrangers!
20 Oh! Que mon sang ne tombe pas en terre loin de la face de l’Éternel! Car le roi d’Israël s’est mis en marche pour chercher une puce, comme on chasserait une perdrix dans les montagnes.
21 Saül dit: J’ai péché; reviens, mon fils David, car je ne te ferai plus de mal, puisqu’en ce jour ma vie a été précieuse à tes yeux. J’ai agi comme un insensé, et j’ai fait une grande faute.
