Jueces 9:48 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 9:48

And Abimelech got him up to Mount Zalmon
A mountain near Shechem, and thought to be the same with Salmon in ( Psalms 68:14 ) which seems to have had its name from the shade of the trees which grew upon it:

he and all the people that were with him;
his whole army:

and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the
trees;
which grew upon Mount Zalmon:

and took it, and laid it on his shoulders;
and carried it along with him:

and said unto the people that were with him, what ye have seen me do,
make haste, and do as I have done;
take an axe, and every man cut down a bough with all possible haste, and lay it on his shoulder.

Jueces 9:48 In-Context

46 Cuando los ciudadanos prominentes que vivían en la torre de Siquem se enteraron de lo sucedido, corrieron a esconderse en el templo de Baal-berit.
47 Alguien le informó a Abimelec que los ciudadanos se habían juntado en el templo,
48 entonces él llevó a sus tropas al monte Salmón. Tomó un hacha, cortó ramas de un árbol y se las puso al hombro. «¡Rápido, hagan lo mismo que hice yo!», dijo a sus hombres.
49 Entonces, siguiendo el ejemplo de Abimelec, cada uno de ellos cortó ramas. Amontonaron las ramas contra las paredes del templo y les prendieron fuego. Así murieron todos los que vivían en la torre de Siquem, unas mil personas, tanto hombres como mujeres.
50 Luego Abimelec atacó la ciudad de Tebes y la tomó.
