2 Samuel 18:11 in Context — 2 Samuel 18
9 Absalom se trouva en présence des gens de David. Il était monté sur un mulet. Le mulet pénétra sous les branches entrelacées d’un grand térébinthe, et la tête d’Absalom fut prise au térébinthe; il demeura suspendu entre le ciel et la terre, et le mulet qui était sous lui passa outre.
10 Un homme ayant vu cela vint dire à Joab: Voici, j’ai vu Absalom suspendu à un térébinthe.
11 Et Joab dit à l’homme qui lui apporta cette nouvelle: Tu l’as vu! Pourquoi donc ne l’as-tu pas abattu sur place? Je t’aurais donné dix sicles d’argent et une ceinture.
12 Mais cet homme dit à Joab: Quand je pèserais dans ma main mille sicles d’argent, je ne mettrais pas la main sur le fils du roi; car nous avons entendu cet ordre que le roi t’a donné, à toi, à Abischaï et à Ittaï: Prenez garde chacun au jeune Absalom!
13 Et si j’eusse attenté perfidement à sa vie, rien n’aurait été caché au roi, et tu aurais été toi-même contre moi.
