And Abimelech gat him up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it, and laid it on his shoulder, and said unto the people that were with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done.
Entonces Abimelec subió al monte Salmón con toda su gente. Tomó un hacha y cortó una rama de árbol, se la puso al hombro, y les dijo a sus seguidores: 'Apúrense y hagan lo que me han visto hacer, corten ramas como yo lo hice.'
Abimelec dirigió a sus hombres con el ejemplo, mostrándoles cómo cortar ramas para su plan.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Judges, Abimelech was a ruthless leader who seized power by killing his 70 brothers and declaring himself king over the city of Shechem, amid the chaotic period of Israel's judges. After inciting rebellion among the Shechemites, he gathered his forces and went to Mount Zalmon to prepare for an attack on their stronghold. This act of cutting down a bough was a tactical move to collect wood for burning the tower where his enemies had fortified themselves.
