Judges 9:36 in Context — Judges 9
34 Abimélec et tout le peuple qui était avec lui partirent de nuit, et ils se mirent en embuscade près de Sichem, divisés en quatre corps.
35 Gaal, fils d’Ébed, sortit, et il se tint à l’entrée de la porte de la ville. Abimélec et tout le peuple qui était avec lui se levèrent alors de l’embuscade.
36 Gaal aperçut le peuple, et il dit à Zebul: Voici un peuple qui descend du sommet des montagnes. Zebul lui répondit: C’est l’ombre des montagnes que tu prends pour des hommes.
37 Gaal, reprenant la parole, dit: C’est bien un peuple qui descend des hauteurs du pays, et une troupe arrive par le chemin du chêne des devins.
38 Zebul lui répondit: Où donc est ta bouche, toi qui disais: Qui est Abimélec, pour que nous le servions? N’est-ce point là le peuple que tu méprisais? Marche maintenant, livre-lui bataille!
