2 Samuel 14:7 in Context — 2 Samuel 14
5 Le roi lui dit: Qu’as-tu? Elle répondit: Oui, je suis veuve, mon mari est mort!
6 Ta servante avait deux fils; ils se sont tous deux querellés dans les champs, et il n’y avait personne pour les séparer; l’un a frappé l’autre, et l’a tué.
7 Et voici, toute la famille s’est levée contre ta servante, en disant: Livre le meurtrier de son frère! Nous voulons le faire mourir, pour la vie de son frère qu’il a tué; nous voulons détruire même l’héritier! Ils éteindraient ainsi le tison qui me reste, pour ne laisser à mon mari ni nom ni survivant sur la face de la terre.
8 Le roi dit à la femme: Va dans ta maison. Je donnerai des ordres à ton sujet.
9 La femme de Tekoa dit au roi: C’est sur moi, ô roi mon seigneur, et sur la maison de mon père, que le châtiment va tomber; le roi et son trône n’auront pas à en souffrir.
