2 Samuel 17:23 in Context — 2 Samuel 17
21 Après leur départ, Achimaats et Jonathan remontèrent du puits et allèrent informer le roi David. Ils dirent à David: Levez-vous et hâtez-vous de passer l’eau, car Achitophel a conseillé contre vous telle chose.
22 David et tout le peuple qui était avec lui se levèrent et ils passèrent le Jourdain; à la lumière du matin, il n’y en avait pas un qui fût resté à l’écart, pas un qui n’eût passé le Jourdain.
23 Achitophel, voyant que son conseil n’était pas suivi, sella son âne et partit pour s’en aller chez lui dans sa ville. Il donna ses ordres à sa maison, et il s’étrangla. C’est ainsi qu’il mourut, et on l’enterra dans le sépulcre de son père.
24 David arriva à Mahanaïm. Et Absalom passa le Jourdain, lui et tous les hommes d’Israël avec lui.
25 Absalom mit Amasa à la tête de l’armée, en remplacement de Joab; Amasa était fils d’un homme appelé Jithra, l’Israélite, qui était allé vers Abigal, fille de Nachasch et sœur de Tseruja, mère de Joab.
