📚 Contexto Histórico
In the time of the Judges, after the death of Gideon, his son Abimelech sought to seize power by appealing to the people of Shechem, his mother's hometown. They provided him with seventy pieces of silver from the temple of Baal-Berith, a pagan deity they worshiped, which he used to hire reckless and untrustworthy men as followers. This event highlights the political intrigue and idolatry prevalent in Israel during this chaotic period of weak leadership.
