Judges 9:49 in Context — Judges 9

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.

51 Em meio daquela cidade havia uma torre forte, à qual se retiraram todos os homens e mulheres, e todos os senhores da cidade; e fechando atrás de si as portas, subiram ao piso alto da torre.
