AKJV_Strongs(i)
  1 H40 And Abimelech H1121 the son H3378 of Jerubbaal H3212 went H7927 to Shechem H517 to his mother’s H251 brothers, H1696 and communed H3605 with them, and with all H4940 the family H1004 of the house H517 of his mother’s H1 father, H559 saying,
  2 H1696 Speak, H4994 I pray H241 you, in the ears H3605 of all H1167 the men H7927 of Shechem, H4100 Whether H2896 is better H3605 for you, either that all H1121 the sons H3378 of Jerubbaal, H7657 which are three score H376 and ten persons, H4910 reign H259 over you, or that one H4910 reign H2142 over you? remember H6106 also that I am your bone H1320 and your flesh.
  3 H517 And his mother’s H251 brothers H1696 spoke H241 of him in the ears H3605 of all H1167 the men H7927 of Shechem H3605 all H428 these H1697 words: H3820 and their hearts H5186 inclined H935 to follow H310 H40 Abimelech; H559 for they said, H251 He is our brother.
  4 H5414 And they gave H7657 him three score H3701 and ten pieces of silver H1004 out of the house H1170 of Baalberith, H40 with which Abimelech H7936 hired H7386 vain H6348 and light H582 persons, H3212 which followed H310 him.
  5 H935 And he went H1 to his father’s H1004 house H6084 at Ophrah, H2026 and slew H251 his brothers H1121 the sons H3378 of Jerubbaal, H7657 being three score H376 and ten persons, H259 on one H68 stone: H3147 notwithstanding yet Jotham H3996 the youngest H1121 son H3378 of Jerubbaal H3498 was left; H2244 for he hid himself.
  6 H3605 And all H1167 the men H7927 of Shechem H622 gathered H3605 together, and all H1004 the house H4407 of Millo, H3212 and went, H40 and made Abimelech H4428 king, H436 by the plain H5324 of the pillar H7927 that was in Shechem.
  7 H5046 And when they told H3147 it to Jotham, H3212 he went H5975 and stood H7218 in the top H2022 of mount H1630 Gerizim, H5375 and lifted H6963 up his voice, H7121 and cried, H559 and said H8085 to them, Listen H1167 to me, you men H7927 of Shechem, H430 that God H8085 may listen to you.
  8 H6086 The trees H1980 went H4886 forth on a time to anoint H4428 a king H5921 over H559 them; and they said H2132 to the olive H4427 tree, Reign H5921 you over us.
  9 H2132 But the olive H559 tree said H2308 to them, Should I leave H1880 my fatness, H834 with which H3513 by me they honor H430 God H376 and man, H1980 and go H5128 to be promoted H5921 over H6086 the trees?
  10 H6086 And the trees H559 said H8384 to the fig H6086 tree, H3212 Come H4427 you, and reign H5921 over us.
  11 H8384 But the fig H6086 tree H559 said H2308 to them, Should I forsake H4987 my sweetness, H2896 and my good H8570 fruit, H1980 and go H5128 to be promoted H5921 over H6086 the trees?
  12 H559 Then said H6086 the trees H1612 to the vine, H3212 Come H4427 you, and reign H5921 over us.
  13 H1612 And the vine H559 said H2308 to them, Should I leave H8492 my wine, H8055 which cheers H430 God H376 and man, H1980 and go H5128 to be promoted H5921 over H6086 the trees?
  14 H559 Then said H3605 all H6086 the trees H329 to the bramble, H3212 Come H4427 you, and reign H5921 over us.
  15 H329 And the bramble H559 said H6086 to the trees, H518 If H571 in truth H4886 you anoint H4428 me king H5921 over H935 you, then come H2620 and put your trust H6738 in my shadow: H518 and if H784 not, let fire H3318 come H329 out of the bramble, H398 and devour H730 the cedars H3844 of Lebanon.
  16 H6258 Now H518 therefore, if H6213 you have done H571 truly H8549 and sincerely, H40 in that you have made Abimelech H4427 king, H518 and if H6213 you have dealt H2895 well H3378 with Jerubbaal H1004 and his house, H6213 and have done H1576 to him according to the deserving H3027 of his hands;
  17 H1 (For my father H3898 fought H7993 for you, and adventured H5315 his life H5048 far, H5337 and delivered H3027 you out of the hand H4080 of Midian:
  18 H6965 And you are risen H5921 up against H1 my father’s H1004 house H3117 this day, H2026 and have slain H1121 his sons, H7657 three score H376 and ten persons, H259 on one H68 stone, H40 and have made Abimelech, H1121 the son H519 of his maidservant, H4427 king H5921 over H1167 the men H7927 of Shechem, H3588 because H251 he is your brother;)
  19 H518 If H6213 you then have dealt H571 truly H8549 and sincerely H3378 with Jerubbaal H1004 and with his house H2088 this H3117 day, H8055 then rejoice H40 you in Abimelech, H1571 and let him also H8055 rejoice in you:
  20 H518 But if H784 not, let fire H3318 come H40 out from Abimelech, H398 and devour H1167 the men H7927 of Shechem, H1004 and the house H4407 of Millo; H784 and let fire H3318 come H1167 out from the men H7927 of Shechem, H1004 and from the house H4407 of Millo, H398 and devour H40 Abimelech.
  21 H3147 And Jotham H5127 ran H1272 away, and fled, H3212 and went H876 to Beer, H3427 and dwelled H8033 there, H6440 for fear H40 of Abimelech H251 his brother.
  22 H40 When Abimelech H7786 had reigned H7969 three H8141 years H5921 over H3478 Israel,
  23 H430 Then God H7971 sent H7451 an evil H7307 spirit H996 between H40 Abimelech H1167 and the men H7927 of Shechem; H1167 and the men H7927 of Shechem H898 dealt treacherously H40 with Abimelech:
  24 H2555 That the cruelty H7657 done to the three score H1121 and ten sons H3378 of Jerubbaal H935 might come, H1818 and their blood H7760 be laid H40 on Abimelech H251 their brother, H834 which H2026 slew H1167 them; and on the men H7927 of Shechem, H834 which H2388 aided H3027 H2026 him in the killing H251 of his brothers.
  25 H1167 And the men H7927 of Shechem H7760 set H693 liers in wait H7218 for him in the top H2022 of the mountains, H1497 and they robbed H3605 all H5674 that came H1870 along that way H5046 by them: and it was told H40 Abimelech.
  26 H1603 And Gaal H1121 the son H5651 of Ebed H935 came H251 with his brothers, H5674 and went H5674 over H7927 to Shechem: H1167 and the men H7927 of Shechem H982 put their confidence in him.
  27 H3318 And they went H7704 out into the fields, H1219 and gathered H3754 their vineyards, H1869 and stepped H6213 the grapes, and made H1974 merry, H935 and went H1004 into the house H430 of their god, H398 and did eat H8354 and drink, H7043 and cursed H40 Abimelech.
  28 H1603 And Gaal H1121 the son H5651 of Ebed H559 said, H4310 Who H40 is Abimelech, H4310 and who H7927 is Shechem, H5647 that we should serve H1121 him? is not he the son H3378 of Jerubbaal? H2083 and Zebul H6496 his officer? H5647 serve H582 the men H2544 of Hamor H1 the father H7927 of Shechem: H4100 for why H5647 should we serve him?
  29 H4310 And would H5414 H2088 to God this H5971 people H3027 were under my hand! H5493 then would I remove H40 Abimelech. H559 And he said H40 to Abimelech, H7235 Increase H6635 your army, H3318 and come out.
  30 H2083 And when Zebul H8269 the ruler H5892 of the city H8085 heard H1697 the words H1603 of Gaal H1121 the son H5651 of Ebed, H639 his anger H2734 was kindled.
  31 H7971 And he sent H4397 messengers H40 to Abimelech H8649 privately, H559 saying, H2009 Behold, H1603 Gaal H1121 the son H5651 of Ebed H251 and his brothers H935 be come H7927 to Shechem; H2009 and, behold, H6696 they fortify H5892 the city H5921 against you.
  32 H6258 Now H3915 therefore up by night, H5971 you and the people H693 that is with you, and lie in wait H7704 in the field:
  33 H1242 And it shall be, that in the morning, H8121 as soon as the sun H7925 is up, you shall rise H7925 early, H6584 and set H5892 on the city: H2009 and, behold, H5971 when he and the people H3318 that is with him come H413 out against H6213 you, then may you do H4672 to them as you shall find H4672 occasion.
  34 H40 And Abimelech H6965 rose H3605 up, and all H5971 the people H3915 that were with him, by night, H693 and they laid wait H5921 against H7927 Shechem H702 in four H7218 companies.
  35 H1603 And Gaal H1121 the son H5651 of Ebed H3318 went H5975 out, and stood H6607 in the entering H8179 of the gate H5892 of the city: H40 and Abimelech H6965 rose H5971 up, and the people H3993 that were with him, from lying in wait.
  36 H1603 And when Gaal H7200 saw H5971 the people, H559 he said H2083 to Zebul, H2009 Behold, H3381 there come H5971 people H3381 down H7218 from the top H2022 of the mountains. H2083 And Zebul H559 said H7200 to him, You see H6738 the shadow H2022 of the mountains H582 as if they were men.
  37 H1603 And Gaal H1696 spoke H3254 again, H5750 H559 and said, H2009 See H3381 there come H5971 people H3381 down H2872 by the middle H776 of the land, H259 and another H7218 company H935 come H436 along by the plain H6049 of Meonenim.
  38 H559 Then said H2083 Zebul H346 to him, Where H645 is now H6310 your mouth, H834 with which H559 you said, H4310 Who H40 is Abimelech, H5647 that we should serve H2088 him? is not this H5971 the people H3988 that you have despised? H3318 go H4994 out, I pray H6258 now, H3898 and fight with them.
  39 H1603 And Gaal H3318 went H6440 out before H1167 the men H7927 of Shechem, H3898 and fought H40 with Abimelech.
  40 H40 And Abimelech H7291 chased H5127 him, and he fled H6440 before H7227 him, and many H5307 were overthrown H2491 and wounded, H6607 even to the entering H8179 of the gate.
  41 H40 And Abimelech H3427 dwelled H725 at Arumah: H2083 and Zebul H1644 thrust H1603 out Gaal H251 and his brothers, H3427 that they should not dwell H7927 in Shechem.
  42 H1961 And it came H4283 to pass on the morrow, H5971 that the people H3318 went H7704 out into the field; H5046 and they told H40 Abimelech.
  43 H3947 And he took H5971 the people, H2673 and divided H7969 them into three H7218 companies, H693 and laid wait H7704 in the field, H7200 and looked, H2009 and, behold, H5971 the people H3318 were come H3318 forth H5892 out of the city; H6965 and he rose H5921 up against H5221 them, and smote them.
  44 H40 And Abimelech, H7218 and the company H6584 that was with him, rushed H6584 forward, H5975 and stood H6607 in the entering H8179 of the gate H5892 of the city: H8147 and the two H7218 other companies H6584 ran H3605 on all H5971 the people H7704 that were in the fields, H5221 and slew them.
  45 H40 And Abimelech H3898 fought H5892 against the city H3605 all H3117 that day; H3920 and he took H5892 the city, H2026 and slew H5971 the people H5422 that was therein, and beat H5422 down H5892 the city, H2232 and sowed H4417 it with salt.
  46 H3605 And when all H1167 the men H4026 of the tower H7927 of Shechem H8085 heard H935 that, they entered H413 into H6877 an hold H1004 of the house H410 of the god H1286 Berith.
  47 H5046 And it was told H40 Abimelech, H3605 that all H1167 the men H4026 of the tower H7927 of Shechem H6908 were gathered together.
  48 H40 And Abimelech H5927 got H2022 him up to mount H6756 Zalmon, H3605 he and all H5971 the people H40 that were with him; and Abimelech H3947 took H7134 an ax H3027 in his hand, H3772 and cut H7754 down a bough H6086 from the trees, H5375 and took H7760 it, and laid H5921 it on H7926 his shoulder, H559 and said H5971 to the people H4100 that were with him, What H7200 you have seen H6213 me do, H4116 make haste, H6213 and do as I have done.
  49 H3605 And all H5971 the people H1571 likewise H3772 cut H376 down every man H7754 his bough, H3212 and followed H310 H40 Abimelech, H7760 and put H6877 them to the hold, H6877 and set the hold H784 on fire H3605 on them; so that all H582 the men H4026 of the tower H7927 of Shechem H4191 died H1571 also, H505 about a thousand H376 men H802 and women.
  50 H3212 Then went H40 Abimelech H8405 to Thebez, H2583 and encamped H413 against H8405 Thebez, H3920 and took it.
  51 H5797 But there was a strong H4026 tower H8432 within H5892 the city, H8033 and thither H5127 fled H3605 all H582 the men H802 and women, H3605 and all H5892 they of the city, H5462 and shut H5927 it to them, and got H1406 them up to the top H4026 of the tower.
  52 H40 And Abimelech H935 came H4026 to the tower, H3898 and fought H5066 against it, and went H5066 hard H6607 to the door H4026 of the tower H8313 to burn H784 it with fire.
  53 H259 And a certain H802 woman H7993 cast H6400 a piece H7393 of a millstone H40 on Abimelech’s H7218 head, H7533 and all to broke H1538 his skull.
  54 H7121 Then he called H4120 hastily H5288 to the young H5375 man his armor bearer, H3627 H559 and said H8025 to him, Draw H2719 your sword, H4191 and slay H559 me, that men say H802 not of me, A woman H2026 slew H5288 him. And his young H1856 man thrust H4191 him through, and he died.
  55 H376 And when the men H3478 of Israel H7200 saw H40 that Abimelech H4191 was dead, H3212 they departed H376 every man H4725 to his place.
  56 H430 Thus God H7725 rendered H7451 the wickedness H40 of Abimelech, H834 which H6213 he did H1 to his father, H2026 in slaying H7657 his seventy H251 brothers:
  57 H3605 And all H7451 the evil H582 of the men H7927 of Shechem H430 did God H7725 render H7218 on their heads: H935 and on them came H7045 the curse H3147 of Jotham H1121 the son H3378 of Jerubbaal.
