2 Samuel 10:3 in Context — 2 Samuel 10

1 Après cela, le roi des fils d’Ammon mourut, et Hanun, son fils, régna à sa place.

2 David dit: Je montrerai de la bienveillance à Hanun, fils de Nachasch, comme son père en a montré à mon égard. Et David envoya ses serviteurs pour le consoler au sujet de son père. Lorsque les serviteurs de David arrivèrent dans le pays des fils d’Ammon,

3 les chefs des fils d’Ammon dirent à Hanun, leur maître: Penses-tu que ce soit pour honorer ton père que David t’envoie des consolateurs? N’est-ce pas pour reconnaître et explorer la ville, et pour la détruire, qu’il envoie ses serviteurs auprès de toi?

4 Alors Hanun saisit les serviteurs de David, leur fit raser la moitié de la barbe, et fit couper leurs habits par le milieu jusqu’au haut des cuisses. Puis il les congédia.

5 David, qui fut informé, envoya des gens à leur rencontre, car ces hommes étaient dans une grande confusion; et le roi leur fit dire: Restez à Jéricho jusqu’à ce que votre barbe ait repoussé, et revenez ensuite.
