Mais revenons à Tolkien et à l'affirmation faite ci-dessus quant à la supériorité du texte biblique sur d'autres considérations théologiques. Nous avons déjà vu combien le Seigneur des Anneaux contient d'échos des formules et typologies bibliques. Il n'est pas étonnant que nous trouvions ces échos lorsqu'on s'intéresse au personnage d'Aragorn dans un passage correspondant à la fin du chapitre II.5 <I>Le Pont de Khazad-Dum</I>, alors que l'affrontement de Gandalf et du Balrog est tissé de références scripturaires :
[citation=LotR [323]{363}]There was a guard of <B>orcs </B>crouching in the shadows behind the great door posts towering on either side, but the gates were shattered and cast down. <B>Aragorn smote to the ground</B> the captain that stood in his path, and the rest fled in <B>terror </B>of <B>his wrath</B>. The Company swept past them and took no heed of them. Out of the Gates they ran and sprang down the huge and age-worn steps, the threshold of Moria.
Thus, at last, they came <B><FONT COLOR="#0000ff">beyond hope</font></B> under the sky and felt the wind on their faces.[/citation]
[citation]<B>Thy fierce wrath</B> goeth over me; <B>thy terrors</B> have cut me off. [normal](Psalms 88:16)[/normal]
And <B>he smote</B> Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them <B>down to the ground</B>; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts. [normal](2 Samuel 8:2)[/normal]
But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab's hand: so <B>he smote him</B> therewith in the fifth rib, and shed out his bowels <B>to the ground</B>, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri. [normal](2 Samuel 20:10)[/normal][/citation]
Le nombre de points de contacts ne se limite pas aux seuls couples [emphase]<i>smite/to the ground</i>[/emphase] et [emphase]<i>terror/wrath</i>[/emphase]. En effet le dernier verset cité est certainement le plus important pour nous : il fait partie du récit biblique qui voit s'affronter David, roi d'Israël et Absalon, son fils, qui osa un coup d'état. ce verset montre Joab assassinant Amasa qui était, pour Absalon, [emphase]« capitain of the host instead of Joab »[/emphase] (2 Sm 17 :25, 19 :13 et 1 R 2 :32). <br>Verra-t-on un simple hasard de l'écriture si, dans ces quatre lignes [emphase]« Aragorn smote to the ground <B><I>the captain</i></B> »[/emphase] ? <br>Surtout qu'Amasa comme le capitaine des Orcs meurent tous deux sous le coup d'une <B><I>épée</i></B> (celle de Joab pour le premier, Anduril pour le second)...
Alors, la mention [emphase]« they came <I>beyond hope</I> under the sky »[/emphase] doit attirer notre attention et nous permettre, puisque le 'they' renvoie à la Compagnie privée de Gandalf et guidée désormais par Aragorn.
