Judges 9:23 in Context — Judges 9
21 Jotham se retira et prit la fuite; il s’en alla à Beer, où il demeura loin d’Abimélec, son frère.
22 Abimélec avait dominé trois ans sur Israël.
23 Alors Dieu envoya un mauvais esprit entre Abimélec et les habitants de Sichem, et les habitants de Sichem furent infidèles à Abimélec,
24 afin que la violence commise sur les soixante-dix fils de Jerubbaal reçût son châtiment, et que leur sang retombât sur Abimélec, leur frère, qui les avait tués, et sur les habitants de Sichem, qui l’avaient aidé à tuer ses frères.
25 Les habitants de Sichem placèrent en embuscade contre lui, sur les sommets des montagnes, des gens qui dépouillaient tous ceux qui passaient près d’eux sur le chemin. Et cela fut rapporté à Abimélec.
