Jueces 9:50 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 9:50

Then went Abimelech to Thebez
Which, according to Ben Gersom, had rebelled against him; it was near to Shechem. Adrichomius says F16, the ruins, where he thinks stood the city of Thebez, were but one furlong from Neapolis or Shechem, where, to the left of Jacob's well, were to be seen ruins of a large town, marble stones, whole pillars, and other signs of large palaces, and the soil wonderfully fruitful; and Jerome says F17, that in his time there was a village called Thebes, on the borders of Neapolis or Shechem, as you go to Scythopolis, thirteen miles from it. It must be near Shechem, inhabited by Shechemites, to fulfil Jotham's curse, ( Judges 9:20 )

and encamped against Thebez, and took it:
it seems not to have held out long, being deserted by its inhabitants, who fled to the tower, as follows.

Jueces 9:50 In-Context

48 Abimelec subi贸 entonces al monte Salm贸n, 茅l y toda la gente que estaba con 茅l; y tomando Abimelec un hacha en su mano, cort贸 una rama de los 谩rboles, la levant贸 y la puso sobre su hombro. Y dijo a la gente que estaba con 茅l: Lo que me hab茅is visto hacer, apresuraos y haced lo mismo.
49 Y todo el pueblo cort贸 tambi茅n cada uno su rama y sigui贸 a Abimelec, y las pusieron sobre la fortaleza; prendieron fuego a la fortaleza sobre los que estaban adentro, y murieron tambi茅n todos los de la torre de Siquem, como mil hombres y mujeres.
50 Despu茅s Abimelec fue a Tebes, la siti贸 y la tom贸.
51 Pero hab铆a una torre fortificada en el centro de la ciudad, y todos los hombres y mujeres, todos los habitantes de la ciudad, huyeron all铆, se encerraron y subieron al techo de la torre.
52 Y Abimelec vino a la torre, la atac贸 y se acerc贸 a la entrada de la torre para prenderle fuego.
