1. 1 Samuel 28:23 (NEG79)
  2. Explication du texte

How did his men convince him to eat?

1 Samuel 28:23 (NEG79)

23 Mais il refusa, et dit: Je ne mangerai point. Ses serviteurs et la femme aussi le pressèrent, et il se rendit à leurs instances. Il se leva de terre, et s'assit sur le lit.

Most likely his men reminded him that they still had a long way to travel (at least fifteen kilometres) in order to get back to their camp at Gilboa. They emphasised that he would need all his strength for the journey.
