Jueces 9:17

Listen to Jueces 9:17
17 Mi padre luchó por ustedes, y arriesgando su vida los libró del poder de los madianitas.

Jueces 9:17 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 9:17

For my father fought for you
In the valley of Jezreel, and at Karkor, where with three hundred men he routed and destroyed an army of 135,000:

and adventured his life far:
which, according to our version, may seem to have respect to his going over Jordan, and following the Midianites, fleeing into their country, and fighting them at Karkor, at a great distance from his native place; but the phrase in the original text is, "he cast away his life afar" F5, made no account of it, exposed it to the greatest danger; or, as the Targum,

``he delivered his life as it were to destruction:''

and delivered you out of the hand of Midian;
from the oppression and bondage of the Midianites, under which they had laboured seven years.

Jueces 9:17 In-Context

15 Pero el espino respondió a los árboles:“Si de veras quieren ungirme como su rey,vengan y refúgiense bajo mi sombra;pero si no, ¡que salga fuego del espino,y que consuma los cedros del Líbano!”
16 »Ahora bien, ¿han actuado ustedes con honradez y buena fe al coronar rey a Abimélec? ¿Han sido justos con Yerubaal y su familia, y lo han tratado como se merecía?
17 Mi padre luchó por ustedes, y arriesgando su vida los libró del poder de los madianitas.
18 Pero hoy ustedes se han rebelado contra la familia de mi padre; han matado a sus setenta hijos sobre una misma piedra, y han hecho de Abimélec, hijo de su esclava, el rey de los señores de Siquén solo porque él es pariente de ustedes.
19 Si hoy han actuado con honradez y buena fe hacia Yerubaal y su familia, ¡que sean felices con Abimélec, y que también él lo sea con ustedes!
