2 Samuel 20:3 in Context — 2 Samuel 20
1 Il se trouvait là un méchant homme, nommé Schéba, fils de Bicri, Benjamite. Il sonna de la trompette, et dit: Point de part pour nous avec David, point d’héritage pour nous avec le fils d’Isaï! Chacun à sa tente, Israël!
2 Et tous les hommes d’Israël s’éloignèrent de David, et suivirent Schéba, fils de Bicri. Mais les hommes de Juda restèrent fidèles à leur roi, et l’accompagnèrent depuis le Jourdain jusqu’à Jérusalem.
3 David rentra dans sa maison à Jérusalem. Le roi prit les dix concubines qu’il avait laissées pour garder la maison, et il les mit dans un lieu où elles étaient séquestrées; il pourvut à leur entretien, mais il n’alla point vers elles. Et elles furent enfermées jusqu’au jour de leur mort, vivant dans un état de veuvage.
4 Le roi dit à Amasa: Convoque-moi d’ici à trois jours les hommes de Juda; et toi, sois ici présent.
5 Amasa partit pour convoquer Juda; mais il tarda au-delà du temps que le roi lui avait fixé.
