2 Samuel 6:21 in Context — 2 Samuel 6
19 Puis il distribua à tout le peuple, à toute la multitude d’Israël, hommes et femmes, à chacun un pain, une portion de viande et un gâteau de raisins. Et tout le peuple s’en alla, chacun dans sa maison.
20 David s’en retourna pour bénir sa maison, et Mical, fille de Saül, sortit à sa rencontre. Elle dit: Quel honneur aujourd’hui pour le roi d’Israël de s’être découvert aux yeux des servantes de ses serviteurs, comme se découvrirait un homme de rien!
21 David répondit à Mical: C’est devant l’Éternel, qui m’a choisi de préférence à ton père et à toute sa maison pour m’établir chef sur le peuple de l’Éternel, sur Israël, c’est devant l’Éternel que j’ai dansé.
22 Je veux paraître encore plus vil que cela, et m’abaisser à mes propres yeux; néanmoins je serai en honneur auprès des servantes dont tu parles.
23 Or Mical, fille de Saül, n’eut point d’enfants jusqu’au jour de sa mort.
