O Manto Sacerdotal de Gideão

22 Os israelitas disseram a Gideão: “Reine sobre nós, você, seu filho e seu neto, pois você nos libertou das mãos de Midiã”.

Juízes 8:22 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 8:22

Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon
Some time after his return, the chief men of Israel having met in a body, and consulted matters among themselves, sent a deputation to Gideon with an offer of the government of them:

rule thou over us, both thou and thy son, and thy son's son also;
by which they meant, that he would take the kingly government of them, and which they proposed to settle in his posterity for ages to come; for, as a judge in Israel, he had a sort of rule and government of them under God already, but amounted not to regal power and authority; and this was what the people of Israel were fond of, that they might be like their neighbours; and this they tempted Gideon with, who had done such very wonderful and extraordinary things for them, which they allege as a reason:

for thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian;
from the bondage they were in to them, and therefore fit to be a king over them.

Juízes 8:22 In-Context

20 E Gideão voltou-se para Jéter, seu filho mais velho, e lhe disse: “Mate-os!” Jéter, porém, teve medo e não desembainhou a espada, pois era muito jovem.
21 Mas Zeba e Zalmuna disseram: “Venha, mate-nos você mesmo. Isso exige coragem de homem”. Então Gideão avançou e os matou, e tirou os enfeites do pescoço dos camelos deles.
22 Os israelitas disseram a Gideão: “Reine sobre nós, você, seu filho e seu neto, pois você nos libertou das mãos de Midiã”.
23 “Não reinarei sobre vocês”, respondeu-lhes Gideão, “nem meu filho reinará sobre vocês. O SENHOR reinará sobre vocês”.
24 E prosseguiu: “Só faço a vocês um pedido: que cada um de vocês me dê um brinco da sua parte dos despojos”. (Os ismaelitas costumavam usar brincos de ouro.)
