Judges 9:17 in Context — Judges 9

15 E o espinheiro respondeu às árvores: Se em verdade me elegeis por rei sobre vós, vinde, e assegurai-vos debaixo de minha sombra: e se não, fogo saia do espinheiro que devore os cedros do Líbano.

16 Agora, pois, se com verdade e com integridade tendes procedido em fazer rei a Abimeleque, e se o fizestes bem com Jerubaal e com sua casa, e se lhe haveis pagado conforme a obra de suas mãos;

17 (Pois que meu pai lutou por vós, e expulsou longe sua vida para livrar-vos da mão de Midiã;

18 E vós vos levantastes hoje contra a casa de meu pai, e matastes seus filhos, setenta homens, sobre uma pedra; e pusestes por rei sobre os de Siquém a Abimeleque, filho de sua criada, porquanto é vosso irmão);

19 Se com verdade e com integridade agistes hoje com Jerubaal e com sua casa, alegrai-vos de Abimeleque, e ele se alegre de vós.
