Juízes 9:52 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 9:52

And Abimelech came unto the tower
With his army to besiege it:

and fought against it;
using all the methods he could to oblige those in it to surrender:

and went hard unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire;
in order to get entrance into it; and perhaps the tower was built of stone, so that no other part could be set fire to; and to do this he drew near to the door himself, for nothing more is meant by the phrase, "went hard", than drawing near in his own person to the door; hazarding his life in the enterprise, being so bent upon it, thinking to do by this tower what he had done to the hold of the temple of Baalberith.

Juízes 9:52 In-Context

50 Então Abimeleque foi a Tebez, e a sitiou e tomou.
51 Havia, porém, no meio da cidade uma torre forte, na qual se refugiaram todos os habitantes da cidade, homens e mulheres; e fechando após si as portas, subiram ao eirado da torre.
52 E Abimeleque, tendo chegado até a torre, atacou-a, e chegou-se � porta da torre, para lhe meter fogo.
53 Nisso uma mulher lançou a pedra superior de um moinho sobre a cabeça de Abimeleque, e quebrou-lhe o crânio.
54 Então ele chamou depressa o moço, seu escudeiro, e disse-lhe: Desembainha a tua espada e mata-me, para que não se diga de mim: uma mulher o matou. E o moço o traspassou e ele morreu.
