Judges 9:48 in Context — Judges 9
46 Quando ouviram isto todos os que estavam na torre de Siquém, entraram na fortaleza do templo do deus Berite.
47 E foi dito a Abimeleque como todos os da torre de Siquém estavam reunidos.
48 Então subiu Abimeleque ao monte de Salmom, ele e toda a gente que com ele estava; e tomou Abimeleque um machado em sua mão, e cortou um ramo das árvores, levantou-o, e o pôs sobre seus ombros, dizendo ao povo que estava com ele: O que vós vedes que estou fazendo, fazei imediatamente como eu.
49 E assim todo aquele povo cortou também cada um seu ramo, e seguiram a Abimeleque, e puseram-nas junto à fortaleza, e prenderam fogo com elas à fortaleza: por maneira que todos os da torre de Siquém morreram, como uns mil homens e mulheres.
50 Depois Abimeleque se foi a Tebes; e pôs cerco a Tebes, e tomou-a.
