Et Urie répondit à David: L’arche, et Israël et Juda logent sous des tentes; mon seigneur Joab aussi et les serviteurs de mon seigneur campent aux champs; et moi j’entrerais dans ma maison pour manger et boire, et pour coucher avec ma femme? Tu es vivant, et ton âme vit, que je ne saurais faire une telle chose!
Que signifie ce verset ?
In this verse, Uriah tells King David that he cannot go home to his wife while the ark and other soldiers are camping outside. He feels it would be disrespectful and unfair to enjoy comforts while others are suffering.
