Judges 9:25 in Context — Judges 9

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.

26 E Gaal filho de Ebede veio com seus irmãos, e passaram a Siquém: e os de Siquém se confiaram nele.

27 E saindo ao campo, vindimaram suas vinhas, e pisaram a uva, e fizeram alegrias; e entrando no templo de seus deuses, comeram e beberam, e amaldiçoaram a Abimeleque.
