2 Samuel 16:10 in Context — 2 Samuel 16
8 L’Éternel fait retomber sur toi tout le sang de la maison de Saül, dont tu occupais le trône, et l’Éternel a livré le royaume entre les mains d’Absalom, ton fils; et te voilà malheureux comme tu le mérites, car tu es un homme de sang!
9 Alors Abischaï, fils de Tseruja, dit au roi: Pourquoi ce chien mort maudit-il le roi mon seigneur? Laisse-moi, je te prie, aller lui couper la tête.
10 Mais le roi dit: Qu’ai-je affaire avec vous, fils de Tseruja? S’il maudit, c’est que l’Éternel lui a dit: Maudis David! Qui donc lui dira: Pourquoi agis-tu ainsi?
11 Et David dit à Abischaï et à tous ses serviteurs: Voici, mon fils, qui est sorti de mes entrailles, en veut à ma vie; à plus forte raison ce Benjamite! Laissez-le, et qu’il maudisse, car l’Éternel le lui a dit.
12 Peut-être l’Éternel regardera-t-il mon affliction, et me fera-t-il du bien en retour des malédictions d’aujourd’hui.
