SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:57
Y aun todo el mal de los señores de Siquem tornó Dios sobre sus cabezas; y la maldición de Jotam, hijo de Jerobaal, vino sobre ellos.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 57. And all the evil of the men of Shechem , etc.] In aiding Abimelech to slay his brethren, and in making him king after so foul a fact committed: did God render upon their heads ; by suffering Abimelech to beat down their city, and destroy the inhabitants of it, and by burning the hold in which the men of the tower of Shechem were, and them in it: and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal ; both upon Abimelech, and the men of Shechem, they being destroyed by one another, as Jotham imprecated they might, and foretold they would, see ( Judges 9:20).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 50-57 - The Shechemites were ruined by Abimelech; now he is reckoned with, wh was their leader in villany. Evil pursues sinners, and sometime overtakes them, when not only at ease, but triumphant. Thoug wickedness may prosper a while, it will not prosper always. The histor of mankind, if truly told, would greatly resemble that of this chapter The records of what are called splendid events present to us suc contests for power. Such scenes, though praised of men, fully explai the Scripture doctrine of the deceitfulness and desperate wickedness of the human heart, the force of men's lust, and the effect of Satan' influence. Lord, thou has given us thy word of truth and righteousness O pour upon us thy spirit of purity, peace, and love, and write the holy law in our hearts __________________________________________________________________
