Jueces 9:38 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 9:38

Then said Zebul unto him
Not being able to put him off any longer, and willing to take the opportunity to upbraid him with what he had said:

where is now thy mouth, [wherewith] thou saidst, who is Abimelech, that
we should serve him?
darest thou say the same thou hast done, and utter the contemptuous language concerning Abimelech, asking who he was, that he should be served? Here he is, speak to his face; what are become of those boasts and brags, and great swelling words, what thou wouldest do if thou hadst the command of this city?

is not this the people thou hast despised?
as small and insignificant, bidding Abimelech increase his army, and come out and fight:

go out, I pray thee, now, and fight with them;
and show thyself to be a man of courage, and not a mere blusterer, a man that can use his sword as well as his tongue.

36 Al ver Gaal a la gente, dijo a Zebul: Mira, viene gente bajando de las cumbres de los montes. Pero Zebul le dijo: Estás viendo la sombra de los montes como si fueran hombres.
37 Y volvió a hablar Gaal y dijo: He aquí, gente que baja de la parte más alta de la tierra, y una compañía viene por el camino de la encina de los adivinos.
38 Entonces Zebul le dijo: ¿Dónde está ahora tu jactancia con la cual decías: "¿Quién es Abimelec para que le sirvamos?" ¿No es éste el pueblo que despreciabas? Ahora pues, sal y pelea contra él.
39 Y salió Gaal delante de los habitantes de Siquem y peleó contra Abimelec.
40 Abimelec lo persiguió pero Gaal huyó delante de él; y muchos cayeron heridos hasta la entrada de la puerta.
