1 Samuel 26:16

La Bible David Martin

Ce n'est pas bien fait à toi; l'Eternel est vivant, que vous êtes dignes de mort, pour avoir si mal gardé votre Seigneur, l'Oint de l'Eternel; et maintenant regarde où est la hallebarde du Roi, et le pot à eau qui était à son chevet.

La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Ce que tu as fait n'est pas bien. L'Éternel est vivant! vous méritez la mort, pour avoir mal gardé votre seigneur, l'oint de l'Éternel. Et maintenant, regarde où sont la lance du roi et la cruche d'eau qui étaient à son chevet.

Darby's French Translation
Ce que tu as fait là n'est pas bien. L'Éternel est vivant, que vous êtes dignes de mort, vous qui n'avez pas gardé votre seigneur, l'oint de l'Éternel! Et maintenant, regarde où est la lance du roi, et la cruche à eau, qui était à son chevet.

Louis Segond (1910)
Ce que tu as fait là n'est pas bien. L'Eternel est vivant! vous méritez la mort, pour n'avoir pas veillé sur votre maître, sur l'oint de l'Eternel. Regarde maintenant où sont la lance du roi et la cruche d'eau, qui étaient à son chevet!

Gill's Notes on the Bible

This thing [is] not good that thou hast done,.... Yea, it was very bad, a great fault, and very blameworthy, if he had neglected to set a watch over the king, whose business it was as a general; the words are expressed in a figure called "meiosis", in which less is said than was intended:

[as] the Lord liveth, ye [are] worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the Lord's anointed; if a watch was set, and these had fallen asleep, and neglected their duty, or had deserted their post; which to do was a capital crime, and deserving of death; wherefore he does not say this of Abner, but of the watch:

and now see where the king's spear [is], and the cruse of water that [was] at his bolster; which he then held up as proofs and evidences of the truth of what be said, that one had been in the camp and had carried off these, and who could as easily have destroyed the king as to have taken these away; and as he came hither with an intent to destroy him, would have done it, had he not been prevented by David; all which likewise plainly proved the negligence of Abner, in not setting a watch about his master, or the negligence of the watch that was set.
