2 Samuel 4:11 in Context — 2 Samuel 4

9 David répondit à Récab et à Baana, son frère, fils de Rimmon de Beéroth: L’Éternel qui m’a délivré de tout péril est vivant!

10 celui qui est venu me dire: Voici, Saül est mort, et qui croyait m’annoncer une bonne nouvelle, je l’ai fait saisir et tuer à Tsiklag, pour lui donner le salaire de son message;

11 et quand des méchants ont assassiné un homme juste dans sa maison et sur sa couche, combien plus ne redemanderai-je pas son sang de vos mains et ne vous exterminerai-je pas de la terre?

12 Et David ordonna à ses gens de les tuer; ils leur coupèrent les mains et les pieds, et les pendirent au bord de l’étang d’Hébron. Ils prirent ensuite la tête d’Isch-Boscheth, et l’enterrèrent dans le sépulcre d’Abner à Hébron.
