1Now 1AbimelechH40 the sonH1121 of 2JerubbaalH3378 wentH1980 to ShechemH7927, to his mother’sH517 relativesH251, and spokeH1696 to them and to the entireH3605 familyH4940 of the householdH1004 of his mother’sH517 fatherH1, sayingH559,

2“SpeakH1696, nowH4994, in the hearingH241 of allH3605 the 3leadersH1167 of ShechemH7927, ‘WhichH4100 is betterH2896 for you: for 4seventyH7657 menH376, allH3605 the sonsH1121 of JerubbaalH3378, to ruleH4910 over you, orH518 for oneH259 manH376 to ruleH4910 over you?’ Also, rememberH2142 that I am 5your boneH6106 and your fleshH1320.”

3So his mother’sH517 relativesH251 spokeH1696 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 onH5921 his behalfH5921 in the hearingH241 of allH3605 the 6leadersH1167 of ShechemH7927; and 7they were inclinedH5186 to followH310 AbimelechH40, for they saidH559, “He is 8our relativeH251.”
