Judges 9:7-19

7And when they toldH5046 it to JothamH3147, he wentH413 and stoodH5975 in the topH7218 of mountH2022 GerizimH1630, and liftedH5375 upH5375 his voiceH6963, and criedH7121, and saidH559 unto them, Hearken unto meH413, ye menH1167 of ShechemH7927, that GodH430 may hearken unto youH5046.

8The treesH6086 wentH1980 forthH1980 on a time to anointH4886 a kingH4428 over them; and they saidH559 unto the oliveH2132 treeH6086, ReignH4427 thou over usH5921.

9But the oliveH2132 treeH6086 saidH559 unto them, Should I leaveH1980 my fatnessH1880, wherewith by meH5921 they honour GodH430 and manH376, and goH1980 to waveH5128 to and froH5128 over the treesH6086?

10And the treesH6086 saidH559 to the figH8384 treeH6086, Come thou, and reignH4427 over usH5921.

11But the figH8384 treeH6086 saidH559 unto them, Should I leaveH1980 my sweetnessH4987, and my goodH2896 fruitH8570, and goH1980 to waveH5128 to and froH5128 over the treesH6086?

12And the treesH6086 saidH559 unto the vineH1612, Come thou, and reignH4427 over usH5921.

13And the vineH1612 saidH559 unto them, Should I leaveH1980 my wineH8492, whichH6086 cheereth GodH430 and manH376, and goH1980 to waveH5128 to and froH5128 over the treesH6086?

14Then saidH559 allH3605 the treesH6086 unto the brambleH329, Come thou, and reignH4427 over usH413.

15And the brambleH329 saidH559 unto the treesH6086, IfH518 in truthH571 ye anointH4886 meH413 kingH4428 over youH859, then comeH935 and putH935 your trust in my shadowH6738: and ifH518 notH369, let fireH784 comeH935 outH3318 of the brambleH329, and devourH398 the cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844.

16NowH6258 therefore, ifH518 ye have dealt trulyH571 and uprightlyH8549, in that ye have madeH6213 AbimelechH40 kingH4427, and ifH518 ye have dealt wellH2895 with JerubbaalH3378 and his houseH1004, and have doneH6213 unto him accordingH3027 to the deserving of his handsH3027;

17(for my fatherH1 foughtH3898 for youH834, and adventured his lifeH5315, and deliveredH5337 youH834 outH5921 of the handH3027 of MidianH4080:

18and ye are risenH6965 upH6965 againstH5921 my father’sH1 houseH1004 this dayH3117, and have slainH2026 his sonsH1121, threescore and ten personsH376, uponH5921 one stoneH68, and have made AbimelechH40, the sonH1121 of his maidservantH519, kingH4427 over the menH376 of ShechemH7927, becauseH3588 he is your brotherH251;)

19ifH518 ye then have dealt trulyH571 and uprightlyH8549 with JerubbaalH3378 and with his houseH1004 this dayH3117, then rejoiceH8055 ye in AbimelechH40, and letH8055 him also rejoiceH8055 in youH518:
