Judges 9:4 in Context — Judges 9
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.
5 Il vint dans la maison de son père à Ophra, et il tua ses frères, fils de Jerubbaal, soixante-dix hommes, sur une même pierre. Il n’échappa que Jotham, le plus jeune fils de Jerubbaal, car il s’était caché.
6 Tous les habitants de Sichem et toute la maison de Millo se rassemblèrent; ils vinrent, et proclamèrent roi Abimélec, près du chêne planté dans Sichem.
