Juízes 9:19 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 9:19

If ye then have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal and
his house this day
If they could in their consciences think and believe they had done well, and acted the faithful and upright part by him and his family, which he left with them to consider of:

then rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you;
may you be happy in him as a king, and he be happy in you as his subjects, and live peaceably and comfortably together; and this he suggests as a test of their former conduct, that should this alliance between Abimelech and them be attended with happiness, which he could not believe would be the case, then it would seem that they had done a right part by Gideon and his family; but if they should be unhappy together, as he supposed they would, then it would be clear that they had acted a base and disingenuous part by his father's family.

Juízes 9:19 In-Context

17 (porque meu pai pelejou por vós, desprezando a própria vida, e vos livrou da mão de Midiã;

18 porém vós hoje vos levantastes contra a casa de meu pai, e matastes a seus filhos, setenta homens, sobre uma só pedra; e a Abimeleque, filho da sua serva, fizestes reinar sobre os cidadãos de Siquém, porque é vosso irmão);

19 se de boa fé e com retidão procedestes hoje para com Jerubaal e para com a sua casa, alegrai-vos em Abimeleque, e também ele se alegre em vós;

20 mas se não, saia fogo de Abimeleque, e devore os cidadãos de Siquém, e a Bete-Milo; e saia fogo dos cidadãos de Siquém e de Bete-Milo, e devore Abimeleque.

21 E partindo Jotão, fugiu e foi para Beer, e ali habitou, por medo de Abimeleque, seu irmão.
