1 Samuel 30:8 in Context — 1 Samuel 30
6 David fut dans une grande angoisse, car le peuple parlait de le lapider, parce que tous avaient de l’amertume dans l’âme, chacun à cause de ses fils et de ses filles. Mais David reprit courage en s’appuyant sur l’Éternel, son Dieu.
7 Il dit au sacrificateur Abiathar, fils d’Achimélec: Apporte-moi donc l’éphod! Abiathar apporta l’éphod à David.
8 Et David consulta l’Éternel, en disant: Poursuivrai-je cette troupe? L’atteindrai-je? L’Éternel lui répondit: Poursuis, car tu atteindras, et tu délivreras.
9 Et David se mit en marche, lui et les six cents hommes qui étaient avec lui. Ils arrivèrent au torrent de Besor, où s’arrêtèrent ceux qui restaient en arrière.
10 David continua la poursuite avec quatre cents hommes; deux cents hommes s’arrêtèrent, trop fatigués pour passer le torrent de Besor.
