Judges 9:43 in Context — Judges 9
41 Abimélec s’arrêta à Aruma. Et Zebul chassa Gaal et ses frères, qui ne purent rester à Sichem.
42 Le lendemain, le peuple sortit dans la campagne. Abimélec, qui en fut informé,
43 prit sa troupe, la partagea en trois corps, et se mit en embuscade dans la campagne. Ayant vu que le peuple sortait de la ville, il se leva contre eux, et les battit.
44 Abimélec et les corps qui étaient avec lui se portèrent en avant, et se placèrent à l’entrée de la porte de la ville; deux de ces corps se jetèrent sur tous ceux qui étaient dans la campagne, et les battirent.
45 Abimélec attaqua la ville pendant toute la journée; il s’en empara, et tua le peuple qui s’y trouvait. Puis il rasa la ville, et y sema du sel.
