Judges 9:36 in Context — Judges 9

34 Levantando-se, pois, de noite Abimeleque e todo aquele povo que com ele estava, puseram emboscada contra Siquém com quatro companhias.

35 E Gaal filho de Ebede saiu, e pôs-se à entrada da porta da cidade: e Abimeleque e todo aquele povo que com ele estava, se levantaram da emboscada.

36 E vendo Gaal o povo, disse a Zebul: Eis ali povo que desce dos cumes dos montes. E Zebul lhe respondeu: A sombra dos montes te parece homens.

37 Mas Gaal voltou a falar, e disse: Eis ali um povo que desce por meio da terra, e um esquadrão vem pelo caminho da campina de Meonenim.

38 E Zebul lhe respondeu: Onde está agora aquele teu falar, dizendo; Quem é Abimeleque para que lhe sirvamos? Não é este o povo que menosprezavas? Sai, pois, agora, e luta com ele.
