2 Samuel 17:9 in Context — 2 Samuel 17
7 Huschaï répondit à Absalom: Pour cette fois le conseil qu’a donné Achitophel n’est pas bon.
8 Et Huschaï dit: Tu connais la bravoure de ton père et de ses gens, ils sont furieux comme le serait dans les champs une ourse à qui l’on aurait enlevé ses petits. Ton père est un homme de guerre, et il ne passera pas la nuit avec le peuple;
9 voici maintenant, il est caché dans quelque fosse ou dans quelque autre lieu. Et si, dès le commencement, il en est qui tombent sous leurs coups, on ne tardera pas à l’apprendre et l’on dira: Il y a une défaite parmi le peuple qui suit Absalom!
10 Alors le plus vaillant, eût-il un cœur de lion, sera saisi d’épouvante; car tout Israël sait que ton père est un héros et qu’il a des braves avec lui.
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.
