2 Samuel 20:17 in Context — 2 Samuel 20
15 Ils vinrent assiéger Schéba dans Abel-Beth-Maaca, et ils élevèrent contre la ville une terrasse qui atteignait le rempart. Tout le peuple qui était avec Joab sapait la muraille pour la faire tomber.
16 Alors une femme habile se mit à crier de la ville: Écoutez, écoutez! Dites, je vous prie, à Joab: Approche jusqu’ici, je veux te parler!
17 Il s’approcha d’elle, et la femme dit: Es-tu Joab? Il répondit: Je le suis. Et elle lui dit: Écoute les paroles de ta servante. Il répondit: J’écoute.
18 Et elle dit: Autrefois on avait coutume de dire: Que l’on consulte Abel! Et tout se terminait ainsi.
19 Je suis une des villes paisibles et fidèles en Israël; et tu cherches à faire périr une ville qui est une mère en Israël! Pourquoi détruirais-tu l’héritage de l’Éternel?
