Judges 9:29 in Context — Judges 9
27 Ils sortirent dans la campagne, vendangèrent leurs vignes, foulèrent les raisins, et se livrèrent à des réjouissances; ils entrèrent dans la maison de leur dieu, ils mangèrent et burent, et ils maudirent Abimélec.
28 Et Gaal, fils d’Ébed, disait: Qui est Abimélec, et qu’est Sichem, pour que nous servions Abimélec? N’est-il pas fils de Jerubbaal, et Zebul n’est-il pas son commissaire? Servez les hommes de Hamor, père de Sichem; mais nous, pourquoi servirions-nous Abimélec?
29 Oh! Si j’étais le maître de ce peuple, je renverserais Abimélec. Et il disait d’Abimélec: Renforce ton armée, mets-toi en marche!
30 Zebul, gouverneur de la ville, apprit ce que disait Gaal, fils d’Ébed, et sa colère s’enflamma.
31 Il envoya secrètement des messagers à Abimélec, pour lui dire: Voici, Gaal, fils d’Ébed, et ses frères, sont venus à Sichem, et ils soulèvent la ville contre toi.
