2 Samuel 19:28

La Bible David Martin

Car quoique tous ceux de la maison de mon père ne soient que des gens dignes de mort envers le Roi mon Seigneur; cependant tu as mis ton serviteur entre ceux qui mangeaient à ta table; et quel droit ai-je donc pour me plaindre encore au Roi?

Parallel Translations

La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Car, bien que tous ceux de la maison de mon père aient mérité la mort de la part du roi mon seigneur, cependant tu as mis ton serviteur parmi ceux qui mangeaient à ta table. Et quel droit ai-je encore? Qu'ai-je encore à me plaindre auprès du roi?

Darby's French Translation
Car toute la maison de mon père n'était que des hommes morts devant le roi, mon seigneur; et tu as mis ton serviteur parmi ceux qui mangent à ta table; et quel droit ai-je encore? et pour quel sujet crierai-je encore au roi?

Louis Segond (1910)
Car tous ceux de la maison de mon père n'ont été que des gens dignes de mort devant le roi mon seigneur; et cependant tu as mis ton serviteur au nombre de ceux qui mangent à ta table. Quel droit puis-je encore avoir, et qu'ai-je à demander au roi?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For all [of] my, father's house were but dead men before my lord the king,.... Or "men of death" m; worthy of death, not on account of Saul's persecution, for which his family did not deserve to suffer; rather for the attempt of Ishbosheth to get the kingdom from him, which might be deemed treason, and so the family was tainted for it; though the sense may be only this, that their lives lay at his mercy, and that if he had dealt with rigour and severity towards them, as was usual for princes to do towards the family of their predecessors, who had any claim to the kingdom, put them to death, this would have been their case:

yet didst thou set thy servant among them that eat at thine own table; which was showing him great kindness, and doing him great honour:

what right therefore have I yet to cry any more unto the king? to ask any favour of him, or make any complaint to him.
