2 Samuel 14:15 in Context — 2 Samuel 14
13 La femme dit: Pourquoi penses-tu de la sorte à l’égard du peuple de Dieu, puisqu’il résulte des paroles mêmes du roi que le roi est comme coupable en ne rappelant pas celui qu’il a proscrit?
14 Il nous faut certainement mourir, et nous serons comme des eaux répandues à terre et qui ne se rassemblent plus; Dieu n’ôte pas la vie, mais il désire que le fugitif ne reste pas banni de sa présence.
15 Maintenant, si je suis venue dire ces choses au roi mon seigneur, c’est que le peuple m’a effrayée. Et ta servante a dit: Je veux parler au roi; peut-être le roi fera-t-il ce que dira sa servante.
16 Oui, le roi écoutera sa servante, pour la délivrer de la main de ceux qui cherchent à nous exterminer, moi et mon fils, de l’héritage de Dieu.
17 Ta servante a dit: Que la parole de mon seigneur le roi me donne le repos. Car mon seigneur le roi est comme un ange de Dieu, prêt à entendre le bien et le mal. Et que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, soit avec toi!
