Judges 9:7-21

7When this was reportedH5046 to JothamH3147, he climbedH1980H5975 to the topH7218 of MountH2022 GerizimH1630, raisedH5375 his voiceH6963, and cried outH7121H559:

16NowH6258 ifH518 you have actedH6213 faithfullyH571 and honestlyH8549 in making AbimelechH40 kingH4427, ifH518H2896 you have done wellH6213 byH5973 JerubbaalH3378H5973 and his familyH1004, and ifH518 you have doneH6213 to him as heH3027 deservesH1576— 17forH834 my fatherH1 foughtH3898 for youH5921 and riskedH7993 his lifeH5315 to deliverH5337 youH853 from the handH3027 of MidianH4080, 18but youH859 have risen upH6965 againstH5921 my father’sH1 houseH1004 this dayH3117 and killedH2026 his seventyH7657H376 sonsH1121 onH5921 a singleH259 stoneH68, and you have made AbimelechH40, the sonH1121 of his maidservantH519, kingH4427 overH5921 the leadersH1167 of ShechemH7927 becauseH3588 heH1931 is your brotherH251— 19ifH518 you have actedH6213 faithfullyH571 and honestlyH8549 towardH5973 JerubbaalH3378H5973 and his houseH1004 thisH2088 dayH3117, then may you rejoiceH8055 in AbimelechH40, andH1571 heH1931 in you.

20But ifH518 notH369, may fireH784 comeH3318 from AbimelechH40 and consumeH398 the leadersH1167 of ShechemH7927 andH853H1037 Beth-milloH1037, and may fireH784 comeH3318 from the leadersH1167 of ShechemH7927 and Beth-milloH1037 and consumeH398 AbimelechH40.”

21Then JothamH3147 ran awayH5127, escapingH1272H1980 to BeerH876, and he livedH3427 thereH8033 for fearH6440 of his brotherH251 AbimelechH40.
