2 Samuel 18:13 in Context — 2 Samuel 18
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.
14 Joab dit: Je ne m’arrêterai pas auprès de toi! Et il prit en main trois javelots, et les enfonça dans le cœur d’Absalom encore plein de vie au milieu du térébinthe.
15 Dix jeunes gens, qui portaient les armes de Joab, entourèrent Absalom, le frappèrent et le firent mourir.
