Judges 19:12 in Context — Judges 19

10 Le mari ne voulut point passer la nuit, il se leva et partit. Il arriva jusque devant Jebus, qui est Jérusalem, avec les deux ânes bâtés et avec sa concubine.

11 Lorsqu’ils furent près de Jebus, le jour avait beaucoup baissé. Le serviteur dit alors à son maître: Allons, dirigeons-nous vers cette ville des Jébusiens, et nous y passerons la nuit.

12 Son maître lui répondit: Nous n’entrerons pas dans une ville d’étrangers, où il n’y a point d’enfants d’Israël, nous irons jusqu’à Guibea.

13 Il dit encore à son serviteur: Allons, approchons-nous de l’un de ces lieux, Guibea ou Rama, et nous y passerons la nuit.

14 Ils continuèrent à marcher, et le soleil se coucha quand ils furent près de Guibea, qui appartient à Benjamin.
