2 Samuel 21:17 in Context — 2 Samuel 21
15 Les Philistins firent encore la guerre à Israël. David descendit avec ses serviteurs, et ils combattirent les Philistins. David était fatigué.
16 Et Jischbi-Benob, l’un des enfants de Rapha, eut la pensée de tuer David; il avait une lance du poids de trois cents sicles d’airain, et il était ceint d’une épée neuve.
17 Abischaï, fils de Tseruja, vint au secours de David, frappa le Philistin et le tua. Alors les gens de David jurèrent, en lui disant: Tu ne sortiras plus avec nous pour combattre, et tu n’éteindras pas la lampe d’Israël.
18 Il y eut encore, après cela, une bataille à Gob avec les Philistins. Alors Sibbecaï, le Huschatite, tua Saph, qui était un des enfants de Rapha.
19 Il y eut encore une bataille à Gob avec les Philistins. Et Elchanan, fils de Jaaré-Oreguim, de Bethléhem, tua Goliath de Gath, qui avait une lance dont le bois était comme une ensouple de tisserand.
