2 Samuel 15:12 in Context — 2 Samuel 15

10 Absalom envoya des espions dans toutes les tribus d’Israël, pour dire: Quand vous entendrez le son de la trompette, vous direz: Absalom règne à Hébron.

11 Deux cents hommes de Jérusalem, qui avaient été invités, accompagnèrent Absalom; et ils le firent en toute simplicité, sans rien savoir.

12 Pendant qu’Absalom offrait les sacrifices, il envoya chercher à la ville de Guilo Achitophel, le Guilonite, conseiller de David. La conjuration devint puissante, et le peuple était de plus en plus nombreux auprès d’Absalom.

13 Quelqu’un vint informer David, et lui dit: Le cœur des hommes d’Israël s’est tourné vers Absalom.

14 Et David dit à tous ses serviteurs qui étaient avec lui à Jérusalem: Levez-vous, fuyons, car il n’y aura point de salut pour nous devant Absalom. Hâtez-vous de partir; sinon, il ne tarderait pas à nous atteindre, et il nous précipiterait dans le malheur et frapperait la ville du tranchant de l’épée.
