SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:23
envió Dios un espíritu malo entre Abimelec y los señores de Siquem; que los de Siquem se levantaron contra Abimelec;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 9:23
Verse 23. God sent an evil spirit] He permitted jealousies to take place which produced factions; and these factions produced insurrections, civil contentions, and slaughter.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 23. Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem , etc.] Permitted, yea, gave a commission to Satan, the evil spirit, to go among them, who stirred up suspicions, jealousies, hatred, and ill will to one another, and sowed the seeds of discord and contention among them; or God gave them up to their own hearts’ lusts, to think ill of one another, grow jealous, and meditate revenge: and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech ; did not openly declare their minds, but secretly conspired against him, and privately consulted ways to find means to get rid of him, and shake off his government.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-29 - Abimelech is seated in the throne his father refused. But how long doe this glory last? Stay but three years, and see the bramble withered an burned. The prosperity of the wicked is short and fickle. The Shechemites are plagued by no other hand than Abimelech's. They raise him unjustly to the throne; they first feel the weight of his sceptre.
