Judges 9:18 in Context — Judges 9

16 Maintenant, est-ce de bonne foi et avec intégrité que vous avez agi en proclamant roi Abimélec? Avez-vous eu de la bienveillance pour Jerubbaal et sa maison? L’avez-vous traité selon les services qu’il a rendus?

17 Car mon père a combattu pour vous, il a exposé sa vie, et il vous a délivrés de la main de Madian;

18 et vous, vous vous êtes levés contre la maison de mon père, vous avez tué ses fils, soixante-dix hommes, sur une même pierre, et vous avez proclamé roi sur les habitants de Sichem, Abimélec, fils de sa servante, parce qu’il est votre frère.

19 Si c’est de bonne foi et avec intégrité qu’en ce jour vous avez agi envers Jerubbaal et sa maison, eh bien! Qu’Abimélec fasse votre joie, et que vous fassiez aussi la sienne!

20 Sinon, qu’un feu sorte d’Abimélec et dévore les habitants de Sichem et la maison de Millo, et qu’un feu sorte des habitants de Sichem et de la maison de Millo et dévore Abimélec!
