Judges 9:1-6

1And AbimelechH40 sonH1121 of JerubbaalH3378 went to ShechemH7927 to his mother's brethren, and spokeH1696 to them, and to all the familyH4940 of the houseH1004 of his mother's fatherH1, sayingH559,

2SpeakH1696, I pray you, in the earsH241 of all the citizensH1167 of ShechemH7927, Which is betterH2896 for you, that seventyH7657 personsH376, all sonsH1121 of JerubbaalH3378, ruleH4910 over you, or that oneH259 manH376 ruleH4910 over you? And rememberH2142 that I am your boneH6106 and your fleshH1320.

3And his mother's brethren spokeH1696 of him in the earsH241 of all the citizensH1167 of ShechemH7927 all these wordsH1697. And their heartH3820 inclinedH5186 after AbimelechH40; for they saidH559, He is our brotherH251.

4And they gaveH5414 him seventyH7657 pieces of silverH3701 out of the houseH1004 of Baal-BerithH1170, and AbimelechH40 hiredH7936 with them vain and wanton menH376, and they followed him.

5And he cameH935 to his father's houseH1004, to OphrahH6084, and slewH2026 his brethren the sonsH1121 of JerubbaalH3378, seventyH7657 personsH376 upon oneH259 stoneH68; but there remainedH3498 JothamH3147 the youngestH6996 sonH1121 of JerubbaalH3378; for he had hidH2244 himself.

6And all the citizensH1167 of ShechemH7927 gatheredH622 together, and all the houseH1004 of MilloH4407, and went and made AbimelechH40 kingH4428, by the memorial-oak that is in ShechemH7927.
