2 Samuel 15:34 in Context — 2 Samuel 15

32 Lorsque David fut arrivé au sommet, où il se prosterna devant Dieu, voici, Huschaï, l’Arkien, vint au-devant de lui, la tunique déchirée et la tête couverte de terre.

33 David lui dit: Si tu viens avec moi, tu me seras à charge.

34 Et, au contraire, tu anéantiras en ma faveur les conseils d’Achitophel, si tu retournes à la ville, et que tu dises à Absalom: O roi, je serai ton serviteur; je fus autrefois le serviteur de ton père, mais je suis maintenant ton serviteur.

35 Les sacrificateurs Tsadok et Abiathar ne seront-ils pas là avec toi? Tout ce que tu apprendras de la maison du roi, tu le diras aux sacrificateurs Tsadok et Abiathar.

36 Et comme ils ont là auprès d’eux leurs deux fils, Achimaats, fils de Tsadok, et Jonathan, fils d’Abiathar, c’est par eux que vous me ferez savoir tout ce que vous aurez appris.
