2 Samuel 14:20 in Context — 2 Samuel 14
18 Le roi répondit, et dit à la femme: Ne me cache pas ce que je vais te demander. Et la femme dit: Que mon seigneur le roi parle!
19 Le roi dit alors: La main de Joab n’est-elle pas avec toi dans tout ceci? Et la femme répondit: Aussi vrai que ton âme est vivante, ô roi mon seigneur, il n’y a rien à droite ni à gauche de tout ce que dit mon seigneur le roi. C’est, en effet, ton serviteur Joab qui m’a donné des ordres, et qui a mis dans la bouche de ta servante toutes ces paroles.
20 C’est pour donner à la chose une autre tournure que ton serviteur Joab a fait cela. Mais mon seigneur est aussi sage qu’un ange de Dieu, pour connaître tout ce qui se passe sur la terre.
21 Le roi dit à Joab: Voici, je veux bien faire cela; va donc, ramène le jeune homme Absalom.
22 Joab tomba la face contre terre et se prosterna, et il bénit le roi. Puis il dit: Ton serviteur connaît aujourd’hui que j’ai trouvé grâce à tes yeux, ô roi mon seigneur, puisque le roi agit selon la parole de son serviteur.
