2 Samuel 3:17 in Context — 2 Samuel 3
15 Isch-Boscheth la fit prendre chez son mari Palthiel, fils de Laïsch.
16 Et son mari la suivit en pleurant jusqu’à Bachurim. Alors Abner lui dit: Va, retourne-t’en! Et il s’en retourna.
17 Abner eut un entretien avec les anciens d’Israël, et leur dit: Vous désiriez autrefois d’avoir David pour roi;
18 établissez-le maintenant, car l’Éternel a dit de lui: C’est par David, mon serviteur, que je délivrerai mon peuple d’Israël de la main des Philistins et de la main de tous ses ennemis.
19 Abner parla aussi à Benjamin, et il alla rapporter aux oreilles de David à Hébron ce qu’avaient résolu Israël et toute la maison de Benjamin.
