18 Ils firent tous deux alliance devant l'Eternel; et David resta dans la forêt, et Jonathan s'en alla chez lui.

1 Samuel 23:18 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 23:18

And they two made a covenant before the Lord
Renewed the covenant they had before made in the name and fear of God, and before him as a witness of it. Kimchi and Abarbinel interpret this phrase,

before the Lord,
of the covenant being made before Abiathar, with the Urim and Thummim in his hand; and so Jerom F16, before Gad the prophet, and Abiathar who wore the ephod:

and David abode in the wood;
being a proper place for him for secrecy and safety:

and Jonathan went to his house;
in Gibeah; and these two dear and cordial friends never saw one another more, as is highly probable.

1 Samuel 23:18 In-Context

16 Ce fut alors que Jonathan, fils de Saül, se leva et alla vers David dans la forêt. Il fortifia sa confiance en Dieu,
17 et lui dit: Ne crains rien, car la main de Saül, mon père, ne t'atteindra pas. Tu régneras sur Israël, et moi je serai au second rang près de toi; Saül, mon père, le sait bien aussi.
18 Ils firent tous deux alliance devant l'Eternel; et David resta dans la forêt, et Jonathan s'en alla chez lui.
19 Les Ziphiens montèrent auprès de Saül à Guibea, et dirent: David n'est-il pas caché parmi nous dans des lieux forts, dans la forêt, sur la colline de Hakila, qui est au midi du désert?
20 Descends donc, ô roi, puisque c'est là tout le désir de ton âme; et à nous de le livrer entre les mains du roi.
