📚 Contexto Histórico
This occurred during Abimelech's violent three-year reign as a self-appointed king over Israel around 1150 BC. The city being destroyed was likely Shechem, where Abimelech had initially been made king but which later rebelled against his harsh rule. Sowing salt on conquered territory was an ancient practice meant to make the land barren and symbolically curse it so nothing could grow there again.
