2 Samuel 16:8-10

Segond 21

⁸L'Eternel fait retomber sur toi tout le sang de la famille de Saül. Tu as régné à sa place et l'Eternel a livré le royaume entre les mains de ton fils Absalom. Te voilà donc malheureux comme tu le mérites, car tu es un homme sanguinaire!»

⁹Abishaï, fils de Tseruja, dit alors au roi: «Pourquoi ce chien mort maudit-il le roi mon seigneur? Laisse-moi donc aller lui couper la tête.» ¹⁰Mais le roi dit: «Qu'ai-je affaire avec vous, les fils de Tseruja? S'il profère des malédictions, c'est que l'Eternel lui a dit: ‘Maudis David!’ Qui donc pourrait lui dire: ‘Pourquoi fais-tu cela?’»
