2 Samuel 16:8 in Context — 2 Samuel 16
6 et il jeta des pierres à David et à tous les serviteurs du roi David, tandis que tout le peuple et tous les hommes vaillants étaient à la droite et à la gauche du roi.
7 Schimeï parlait ainsi en le maudissant: Va-t’en, va-t’en, homme de sang, méchant homme!
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?
