2 Samuel 19:11 in Context — 2 Samuel 19
9 Et dans toutes les tribus d’Israël, tout le peuple était en contestation, disant: Le roi nous a délivrés de la main de nos ennemis, c’est lui qui nous a sauvés de la main des Philistins; et maintenant il a dû fuir du pays devant Absalom.
10 Or Absalom, que nous avions oint pour qu’il régnât sur nous, est mort dans la bataille: pourquoi ne parlez-vous pas de faire revenir le roi?
11 De son côté, le roi David envoya dire aux sacrificateurs Tsadok et Abiathar: Parlez aux anciens de Juda, et dites-leur: Pourquoi seriez-vous les derniers à ramener le roi dans sa maison? Car ce qui se disait dans tout Israël était parvenu jusqu’au roi.
12 Vous êtes mes frères, vous êtes mes os et ma chair; pourquoi seriez-vous les derniers à ramener le roi?
13 Vous direz aussi à Amasa: N’es-tu pas mon os et ma chair? Que Dieu me traite dans toute sa rigueur, si tu ne deviens pas devant moi pour toujours chef de l’armée à la place de Joab!
