2 Samuel 3:24 in Context — 2 Samuel 3

22 Voici, Joab et les gens de David revinrent d’une excursion, et amenèrent avec eux un grand butin. Abner n’était plus auprès de David à Hébron, car David l’avait renvoyé, et il s’en était allé en paix.

23 Lorsque Joab et toute sa troupe arrivèrent, on fit à Joab ce rapport: Abner, fils de Ner, est venu auprès du roi, qui l’a renvoyé, et il s’en est allé en paix.

24 Joab se rendit chez le roi, et dit: Qu’as-tu fait? Voici, Abner est venu vers toi; pourquoi l’as-tu renvoyé et laissé partir?

25 Tu connais Abner, fils de Ner! C’est pour te tromper qu’il est venu, pour épier tes démarches, et pour savoir tout ce que tu fais.

26 Et Joab, après avoir quitté David, envoya sur les traces d’Abner des messagers, qui le ramenèrent depuis la citerne de Sira: David n’en savait rien.
