2 Samuel 14:32 in Context — 2 Samuel 14
30 Absalom dit alors à ses serviteurs: Voyez, le champ de Joab est à côté du mien; il y a de l’orge; allez et mettez-y le feu. Et les serviteurs d’Absalom mirent le feu au champ.
31 Joab se leva et se rendit auprès d’Absalom, dans sa maison. Il lui dit: Pourquoi tes serviteurs ont-ils mis le feu au champ qui m’appartient?
32 Absalom répondit à Joab: Voici, je t’ai fait dire: Viens ici, et je t’enverrai vers le roi, afin que tu lui dises: Pourquoi suis-je revenu de Gueschur? Il vaudrait mieux pour moi que j’y fusse encore. Je désire maintenant voir la face du roi; et s’il y a quelque crime en moi, qu’il me fasse mourir.
33 Joab alla vers le roi, et lui rapporta cela. Et le roi appela Absalom, qui vint auprès de lui et se prosterna la face contre terre en sa présence. Le roi baisa Absalom.
