2 Samuel 11:23 in Context — 2 Samuel 11
21 Qui a tué Abimélec, fils de Jerubbéscheth? N’est-ce pas une femme qui lança sur lui du haut de la muraille un morceau de meule de moulin, et n’en est-il pas mort à Thébets? Pourquoi vous êtes-vous approchés de la muraille? Alors tu diras: Ton serviteur Urie, le Héthien, est mort aussi.
22 Le messager partit: et, à son arrivée, il fit rapport à David de tout ce que Joab lui avait ordonné.
23 Le messager dit à David: Ces gens ont eu sur nous l’avantage; ils avaient fait une sortie contre nous dans les champs, et nous les avons repoussés jusqu’à l’entrée de la porte;
24 les archers ont tiré du haut de la muraille sur tes serviteurs, et plusieurs des serviteurs du roi ont été tués, et ton serviteur Urie, le Héthien, est mort aussi.
25 David dit au messager: Voici ce que tu diras à Joab: Ne sois point peiné de cette affaire, car l’épée dévore tantôt l’un, tantôt l’autre; attaque vigoureusement la ville, et renverse-la. Et toi, encourage-le!
