Judges 9:1-5

1And AbimelechH40 the sonH1121 of JerubbaalH3378 went to ShechemH7927 unto his mother’sH517 brethren, and spake with them, and with all the familyH4940 of the houseH1004 of his mother’sH517 fatherH1, sayingH559,

2SpeakH1696, I pray you, in the earsH241 of all the menH376 of ShechemH7927, Whether is betterH2896 for you, that all the sonsH1121 of JerubbaalH3378, who are threescore and ten personsH376, ruleH4910 over you, or that oneH259 ruleH4910 over you? rememberH2142 also that I am your boneH6106 and your fleshH1320.

3And his mother’sH517 brethren spake of him in the earsH241 of all the men of ShechemH7927 all these wordsH1697: and their heartsH3820 inclinedH5186 to follow AbimelechH40; for they saidH559, He is our brotherH251.

4And they gaveH5414 him threescore and ten pieces of silverH3701 out of the houseH1004 of Baal-berithH1170, wherewith AbimelechH40 hiredH7936 vain and light fellows, who followed him.

5And he wentH935 unto his father’sH1 houseH1004 at OphrahH6084, and slewH2026 his brethren the sonsH1121 of JerubbaalH3378, being threescore and ten personsH376, upon oneH259 stoneH68: but JothamH3147 the youngestH6996 sonH1121 of JerubbaalH3378 was leftH3498; for he hidH2244 himself.
