Judges 9:2 in Context — Judges 9
1 Abimélec, fils de Jerubbaal, se rendit à Sichem vers les frères de sa mère, et voici comment il leur parla, ainsi qu’à toute la famille de la maison du père de sa mère:
2 Dites, je vous prie, aux oreilles de tous les habitants de Sichem: Vaut-il mieux pour vous que soixante-dix hommes, tous fils de Jerubbaal, dominent sur vous, ou qu’un seul homme domine sur vous? Et souvenez-vous que je suis votre os et votre chair.
3 Les frères de sa mère répétèrent pour lui toutes ces paroles aux oreilles de tous les habitants de Sichem, et leur cœur inclina en faveur d’Abimélec, car ils se disaient: C’est notre frère.
4 Ils lui donnèrent soixante-dix sicles d’argent, qu’ils enlevèrent de la maison de Baal-Berith. Abimélec s’en servit pour acheter des misérables et des turbulents, qui allèrent après lui.
