2 Samuel 16:23 in Context — 2 Samuel 16
21 Et Achitophel dit à Absalom: Va vers les concubines que ton père a laissées pour garder la maison; ainsi tout Israël saura que tu t’es rendu odieux à ton père, et les mains de tous ceux qui sont avec toi se fortifieront.
22 On dressa pour Absalom une tente sur le toit, et Absalom alla vers les concubines de son père, aux yeux de tout Israël.
23 Les conseils donnés en ce temps-là par Achitophel avaient autant d’autorité que si l’on eût consulté Dieu lui-même. Il en était ainsi de tous les conseils d’Achitophel, soit pour David, soit pour Absalom.
