2 Samuel 19:3 in Context — 2 Samuel 19

1 On vint dire à Joab: Voici, le roi pleure et se lamente à cause d’Absalom.

2 Et la victoire, ce jour-là, fut changée en deuil pour tout le peuple, car en ce jour le peuple entendait dire: Le roi est affligé à cause de son fils.

3 Ce même jour, le peuple rentra dans la ville à la dérobée, comme l’auraient fait des gens honteux d’avoir pris la fuite dans le combat.

4 Le roi s’était couvert le visage, et il criait à haute voix: Mon fils Absalom! Absalom, mon fils, mon fils!

5 Joab entra dans la chambre où était le roi, et dit: Tu couvres aujourd’hui de confusion la face de tous tes serviteurs, qui ont aujourd’hui sauvé ta vie, celle de tes fils et de tes filles, celle de tes femmes et de tes concubines.
