2 Samuel 21:10 in Context — 2 Samuel 21

8 Mais le roi prit les deux fils que Ritspa, fille d’Ajja, avait enfantés à Saül, Armoni et Mephiboscheth, et les cinq fils que Mérab, fille de Saül, avait enfantés à Adriel de Mehola, fils de Barzillaï;

9 et il les livra entre les mains des Gabaonites, qui les pendirent sur la montagne, devant l’Éternel. Tous les sept périrent ensemble; ils furent mis à mort dans les premiers jours de la moisson, au commencement de la moisson des orges.

10 Ritspa, fille d’Ajja, prit un sac et l’étendit sous elle contre le rocher, depuis le commencement de la moisson jusqu’à ce que la pluie du ciel tombât sur eux; et elle empêcha les oiseaux du ciel de s’approcher d’eux pendant le jour, et les bêtes des champs pendant la nuit.

11 On informa David de ce qu’avait fait Ritspa, fille d’Ajja, concubine de Saül.

12 Et David alla prendre les os de Saül et les os de Jonathan, son fils, chez les habitants de Jabès en Galaad, qui les avaient enlevés de la place de Beth-Schan, où les Philistins les avaient suspendus lorsqu’ils battirent Saül à Guilboa.
