1 Samuel 26:8 in Context — 1 Samuel 26
6 David prit la parole, et s’adressant à Achimélec, Héthien, et à Abischaï, fils de Tseruja et frère de Joab, il dit: Qui veut descendre avec moi dans le camp vers Saül? Et Abischaï répondit: Moi, je descendrai avec toi.
7 David et Abischaï allèrent de nuit vers le peuple. Et voici, Saül était couché et dormait au milieu du camp, et sa lance était fixée en terre à son chevet. Abner et le peuple étaient couchés autour de lui.
8 Abischaï dit à David: Dieu livre aujourd’hui ton ennemi entre tes mains; laisse-moi, je te prie, le frapper de ma lance et le clouer en terre d’un seul coup, pour que je n’aie pas à y revenir.
9 Mais David dit à Abischaï: Ne le détruis pas! Car qui pourrait impunément porter la main sur l’oint de l’Éternel?
10 Et David dit: L’Éternel est vivant! C’est à l’Éternel seul à le frapper, soit que son jour vienne et qu’il meure, soit qu’il descende sur un champ de bataille et qu’il y périsse.
