1 Samuel 29:8 in Context — 1 Samuel 29
6 Akisch appela David, et lui dit: L’Éternel est vivant! Tu es un homme droit, et j’aime à te voir aller et venir avec moi dans le camp, car je n’ai rien trouvé de mauvais en toi depuis ton arrivée auprès de moi jusqu’à ce jour; mais tu ne plais pas aux princes.
7 Retourne donc et va-t’en en paix, pour ne rien faire de désagréable aux yeux des princes des Philistins.
8 David dit à Akisch: Mais qu’ai-je fait, et qu’as-tu trouvé en ton serviteur depuis que je suis auprès de toi jusqu’à ce jour, pour que je n’aille pas combattre les ennemis de mon seigneur le roi?
9 Akisch répondit à David: Je le sais, car tu es agréable à mes yeux comme un ange de Dieu; mais les princes des Philistins disent: Il ne montera point avec nous pour combattre.
10 Ainsi lève-toi de bon matin, toi et les serviteurs de ton maître qui sont venus avec toi; levez-vous de bon matin, et partez dès que vous verrez la lumière.
