2 Samuel 3:27 in Context — 2 Samuel 3

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.

27 Lorsque Abner fut de retour à Hébron, Joab le tira à l’écart au milieu de la porte, comme pour lui parler en secret, et là il le frappa au ventre et le tua, pour venger la mort d’Asaël, son frère.

28 David l’apprit ensuite, et il dit: Je suis à jamais innocent, devant l’Éternel, du sang d’Abner, fils de Ner, et mon royaume l’est aussi.

29 Que ce sang retombe sur Joab et sur toute la maison de son père! Qu’il y ait toujours quelqu’un dans la maison de Joab, qui soit atteint d’un flux ou de la lèpre, ou qui s’appuie sur un bâton, ou qui tombe par l’épée, ou qui manque de pain!
