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?
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.
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
