2 Samuel 15:7 in Context — 2 Samuel 15

5 Et quand quelqu’un s’approchait pour se prosterner devant lui, il lui tendait la main, le saisissait et l’embrassait.

6 Absalom agissait ainsi à l’égard de tous ceux d’Israël, qui se rendaient vers le roi pour demander justice. Et Absalom gagnait le cœur des gens d’Israël.

7 Au bout de quarante ans, Absalom dit au roi: Permets que j’aille à Hébron, pour accomplir le vœu que j’ai fait à l’Éternel.

8 Car ton serviteur a fait un vœu, pendant que je demeurais à Gueschur en Syrie; j’ai dit: Si l’Éternel me ramène à Jérusalem, je servirai l’Éternel.

9 Le roi lui dit: Va en paix. Et Absalom se leva et partit pour Hébron.
