2 Samuel 17:13 in Context — 2 Samuel 17

11 Je conseille donc que tout Israël se rassemble auprès de toi, depuis Dan jusqu’à Beer-Schéba, multitude pareille au sable qui est sur le bord de la mer. Tu marcheras en personne au combat.

12 Nous arriverons à lui en quelque lieu que nous le trouvions, et nous tomberons sur lui comme la rosée tombe sur le sol; et pas un n’échappera, ni lui ni aucun des hommes qui sont avec lui.

13 S’il se retire dans une ville, tout Israël portera des cordes vers cette ville, et nous la traînerons au torrent, jusqu’à ce qu’on n’en trouve plus une pierre.

14 Absalom et tous les gens d’Israël dirent: Le conseil de Huschaï, l’Arkien, vaut mieux que le conseil d’Achitophel. Or l’Éternel avait résolu d’anéantir le bon conseil d’Achitophel, afin d’amener le malheur sur Absalom.

15 Huschaï dit aux sacrificateurs Tsadok et Abiathar: Achitophel a donné tel et tel conseil à Absalom et aux anciens d’Israël; et moi, j’ai conseillé telle et telle chose.
