2 Samuel 18:5 in Context — 2 Samuel 18
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.
5 Le roi donna cet ordre à Joab, à Abischaï et à Ittaï: Pour l’amour de moi, doucement avec le jeune Absalom! Et tout le peuple entendit l’ordre du roi à tous les chefs au sujet d’Absalom.
6 Le peuple sortit dans les champs à la rencontre d’Israël, et la bataille eut lieu dans la forêt d’Éphraïm.
7 Là, le peuple d’Israël fut battu par les serviteurs de David, et il y eut en ce jour une grande défaite de vingt mille hommes.
