Judges 9:23 in Context — Judges 9

21 E fugiu Jotão, e se escapou, e foi-se a Beer, e ali se esteve por causa de Abimeleque seu irmão.

22 E depois que Abimeleque dominou sobre Israel três anos,

23 Enviou Deus um espírito mau entre Abimeleque e os homens de Siquém: que os de Siquém se levantaram contra Abimeleque:

24 Para que o crime dos setenta filhos de Jerubaal, e o sangue deles, viesse a se pôr sobre Abimeleque seu irmão que os matou, e sobre os homens de Siquém que corroboraram as mãos dele para matar a seus irmãos.

25 E puseram-lhe os de Siquém emboscadores nos cumes dos montes, os quais assaltavam a todos os que passavam junto a eles pelo caminho; do que foi dado aviso a Abimeleque.
