2 Samuel 18:2 in Context — 2 Samuel 18
1 David passa en revue le peuple qui était avec lui, et il établit sur eux des chefs de milliers et des chefs de centaines.
2 Il plaça le tiers du peuple sous le commandement de Joab, le tiers sous celui d’Abischaï, fils de Tseruja, frère de Joab, et le tiers sous celui d’Ittaï, de Gath. Et le roi dit au peuple: Moi aussi, je veux sortir avec vous.
3 Mais le peuple dit: Tu ne sortiras point! Car si nous prenons la fuite, ce n’est pas sur nous que l’attention se portera; et quand la moitié d’entre nous succomberait, on n’y ferait pas attention; mais toi, tu es comme dix mille de nous, et maintenant il vaut mieux que de la ville tu puisses venir à notre secours.
4 Le roi leur répondit: Je ferai ce qui vous paraît bon. Et le roi se tint à côté de la porte, pendant que tout le peuple sortait par centaines et par milliers.
