Jueces 9:20 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 9:20

But if not
If it appeared that they had not acted uprightly and sincerely in this matter:

let fire come out of Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the
house of Millo;
let wrath, rage, and fury, break out from Abimelech like fire, and issue in the destruction of those that made him king, both those of Shechem and of Millo:

and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of
Millo, and devour Abimelech;
let them be incensed against Abimelech, and seek his ruin, and procure it: the sense is, that he wishes that strife, contention, and quarrels, might arise among them, and they mutually destroy each other; the words are imprecative of evil upon them both, and which had its exact fulfilment.

Jueces 9:20 In-Context

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!
20 Pero si no, señores de Siquén y Bet Miló, ¡que salga fuego de Abimélec y los consuma, y que salga fuego de ustedes y consuma a Abimélec!»
21 Luego Jotán escapó, huyendo hasta Ber. Allí se quedó a vivir porque le tenía miedo a su hermano Abimélec.
22 Abimélec había ya gobernado a Israel tres años
