21 La femme vint auprès de Saül, et, le voyant très effrayé, elle lui dit: Voici, ta servante a écouté ta voix; j’ai exposé ma vie, en obéissant aux paroles que tu m’as dites.
22 Écoute maintenant, toi aussi, la voix de ta servante, et laisse-moi t’offrir un morceau de pain, afin que tu manges pour avoir la force de te mettre en route.
23 Mais il refusa, et dit: Je ne mangerai point. Ses serviteurs et la femme aussi le pressèrent, et il se rendit à leurs instances. Il se leva de terre, et s’assit sur le lit.
24 La femme avait chez elle un veau gras, qu’elle se hâta de tuer; et elle prit de la farine, la pétrit, et en cuisit des pains sans levain.
25 Elle les mit devant Saül et devant ses serviteurs. Et ils mangèrent. Puis, s’étant levés, ils partirent la nuit même.
