2 Samuel 24:17 in Context — 2 Samuel 24

15 L’Éternel envoya la peste en Israël, depuis le matin jusqu’au temps fixé; et, de Dan à Beer-Schéba, il mourut soixante-dix mille hommes parmi le peuple.

16 Comme l’ange étendait la main sur Jérusalem pour la détruire, l’Éternel se repentit de ce mal, et il dit à l’ange qui faisait périr le peuple: Assez! Retire maintenant ta main. L’ange de l’Éternel était près de l’aire d’Aravna, le Jébusien.

17 David, voyant l’ange qui frappait parmi le peuple, dit à l’Éternel: Voici, j’ai péché! C’est moi qui suis coupable; mais ces brebis, qu’ont-elles fait? Que ta main soit donc sur moi et sur la maison de mon père!

18 Ce jour-là, Gad vint auprès de David, et lui dit: Monte, élève un autel à l’Éternel dans l’aire d’Aravna, le Jébusien.

19 David monta, selon la parole de Gad, comme l’Éternel l’avait ordonné.
