1 Samuel 30:21 in Context — 1 Samuel 30

19 Il ne leur manqua personne, ni petit ni grand, ni fils ni fille, ni aucune chose du butin, ni rien de ce qu’on leur avait enlevé: David ramena tout.

20 Et David prit tout le menu et le gros bétail; et ceux qui conduisaient ce troupeau et marchaient à sa tête disaient: C’est ici le butin de David.

21 David arriva auprès des deux cents hommes qui avaient été trop fatigués pour le suivre, et qu’on avait laissés au torrent de Besor. Ils s’avancèrent à la rencontre de David et du peuple qui était avec lui. David s’approcha d’eux, et leur demanda comment ils se trouvaient.

22 Tous les hommes méchants et vils parmi les gens qui étaient allés avec David prirent la parole et dirent: Puisqu’ils ne sont pas venus avec nous, nous ne leur donnerons rien du butin que nous avons sauvé, sinon à chacun sa femme et ses enfants; qu’ils les emmènent, et s’en aillent.

23 Mais David dit: N’agissez pas ainsi, mes frères, au sujet de ce que l’Éternel nous a donné; car il nous a gardés, et il a livré entre nos mains la troupe qui était venue contre nous.
