Judges 9:38 in Context — Judges 9

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!

39 Gaal s’avança à la tête des habitants de Sichem, et livra bataille à Abimélec.

40 Poursuivi par Abimélec, il prit la fuite devant lui, et beaucoup d’hommes tombèrent morts jusqu’à l’entrée de la porte.
