2 Samuel 19:8 in Context — 2 Samuel 19
6 Tu aimes ceux qui te haïssent et tu hais ceux qui t’aiment, car tu montres aujourd’hui qu’il n’y a pour toi ni chefs ni serviteurs; et je vois maintenant que, si Absalom vivait et que nous fussions tous morts en ce jour, cela serait agréable à tes yeux.
7 Lève-toi donc, sors, et parle au cœur de tes serviteurs! Car je jure par l’Éternel que, si tu ne sors pas, il ne restera pas un homme avec toi cette nuit; et ce sera pour toi pire que tous les malheurs qui te sont arrivés depuis ta jeunesse jusqu’à présent.
8 Alors le roi se leva, et il s’assit à la porte. On fit dire à tout le peuple: Voici, le roi est assis à la porte. Et tout le peuple vint devant le roi. Cependant Israël s’était enfui, chacun dans sa tente.
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?
