Judges 9:7-57

And when they told
<05046> (8686)

[it] to Jotham
<03147>_,

he went
<03212> (8799)

and stood
<05975> (8799)

in the top
<07218>

of mount
<02022>

Gerizim
<01630>_,

and lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his voice
<06963>_,

and cried
<07121> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto me, ye men
<01167>

of Shechem
<07927>_,

that God
<0430>

may hearken
<08085> (8799)

unto you.

The trees
<06086>

went forth
<01980> (8804) (8676) <01980> (8800)

[on a time] to anoint
<04886> (8800)

a king
<04428>

over them; and they said
<0559> (8799)

unto the olive tree
<02132>_,

Reign
<04427> (8798)

thou over us.

But the olive tree
<02132>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Should I leave
<02308> (8804)

my fatness
<01880>_,

wherewith by me they honour
<03513> (8762)

God
<0430>

and man
<0582>_,

and go
<01980> (8804)

to be promoted
<05128> (8800)

over the trees
<06086>_?

{go...: or, go up and down for other trees}

And the trees
<06086>

said
<0559> (8799)

to the fig tree
<08384>_,

Come
<03212> (8798)

thou, [and] reign
<04427> (8798)

over us.

But the fig tree
<08384>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Should I forsake
<02308> (8804)

my sweetness
<04987>_,

and my good
<02896>

fruit
<08570>_,

and go
<01980> (8804)

to be promoted
<05128> (8800)

over the trees
<06086>_?

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the trees
<06086>

unto the vine
<01612>_,

Come
<03212> (8798)

thou, [and] reign
<04427> (8798)

over us.

And the vine
<01612>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Should I leave
<02308> (8804)

my wine
<08492>_,

which cheereth
<08055> (8764)

God
<0430>

and man
<0582>_,

and go
<01980> (8804)

to be promoted
<05128> (8800)

over the trees
<06086>_?

Then said
<0559> (8799)

all the trees
<06086>

unto the bramble
<0329>_,

Come
<03212> (8798)

thou, [and] reign
<04427> (8798)

over us. {bramble: or, thistle}

And the bramble
<0329>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the trees
<06086>_,

If in truth
<0571>

ye anoint
<04886> (8802)

me king
<04428>

over you, [then] come
<0935> (8798)

[and] put your trust
<02620> (8798)

in my shadow
<06738>_:

and if not, let fire
<0784>

come out
<03318> (8799)

of the bramble
<0329>_,

and devour
<0398> (8799)

the cedars
<0730>

of Lebanon
<03844>_.

Now therefore, if ye have done
<06213> (8804)

truly
<0571>

and sincerely
<08549>_,

in that ye have made Abimelech
<040>

king
<04427> (8686)_,

and if ye have dealt
<06213> (8804)

well
<02896>

with Jerubbaal
<03378>

and his house
<01004>_,

and have done
<06213> (8804)

unto him according to the deserving
<01576>

of his hands
<03027>_;

(For my father
<01>

fought
<03898> (8738)

for you, and adventured
<07993> (8686)

his life
<05315>

far
<05048>_,

and delivered
<05337> (8686)

you out of the hand
<03027>

of Midian
<04080>_:

{adventured...: Heb. cast his life}

And ye are risen up
<06965> (8804)

against my father's
<01>

house
<01004>

this day
<03117>_,

and have slain
<02026> (8799)

his sons
<01121>_,

threescore and ten
<07657>

persons
<0376>_,

upon one
<0259>

stone
<068>_,

and have made Abimelech
<040>_,

the son
<01121>

of his maidservant
<0519>_,

king
<04427> (8686)

over the men
<01167>

of Shechem
<07927>_,

because he [is] your brother
<0251>;)

If ye then have dealt
<06213> (8804)

truly
<0571>

and sincerely
<08549>

with Jerubbaal
<03378>

and with his house
<01004>

this day
<03117>_,

[then] rejoice
<08055> (8798)

ye in Abimelech
<040>_,

and let him also rejoice
<08055> (8799)

in you:

But if not, let fire
<0784>

come out
<03318> (8799)

from Abimelech
<040>_,

and devour
<0398> (8799)

the men
<01167>

of Shechem
<07927>_,

and the house
<01004>

of Millo
<04407> (8677) <01037>_;

and let fire
<0784>

come out
<03318> (8799)

from the men
<01167>

of Shechem
<07927>_,

and from the house
<01004>

of Millo
<04407> (8676) <01037>_,

and devour
<0398> (8799)

Abimelech
<040>_.

And Jotham
<03147>

ran away
<01272> (8799)_,

and fled
<05127> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

to Beer
<0876>_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

there, for fear
<06440>

of Abimelech
<040>

his brother
<0251>_.

When Abimelech
<040>

had reigned
<07786> (8799)

three
<07969>

years
<08141>

over Israel
<03478>_,

Then God
<0430>

sent
<07971> (8799)

an evil
<07451>

spirit
<07307>

between Abimelech
<040>

and the men
<01167>

of Shechem
<07927>_;

and the men
<01167>

of Shechem
<07927>

dealt treacherously
<0898> (8799)

with Abimelech
<040>_:

That the cruelty
<02555>

[done] to the threescore and ten
<07657>

sons
<01121>

of Jerubbaal
<03378>

might come
<0935> (8800)_,

and their blood
<01818>

be laid
<07760> (8800)

upon Abimelech
<040>

their brother
<0251>_,

which slew
<02026> (8804)

them; and upon the men
<01167>

of Shechem
<07927>_,

which aided
<02388> (8765) <03027>

him in the killing
<02026> (8800)

of his brethren
<0251>_.

{aided...: Heb. strengthened his hands to kill}

And the men
<01167>

of Shechem
<07927>

set
<07760> (8799)

liers in wait
<0693> (8764)

for him in the top
<07218>

of the mountains
<02022>_,

and they robbed
<01497> (8799)

all that came
<05674> (8799)

along that way
<01870>

by them: and it was told
<05046> (8714)

Abimelech
<040>_.

And Gaal
<01603>

the son
<01121>

of Ebed
<05651>

came
<0935> (8799)

with his brethren
<0251>_,

and went over
<05674> (8799)

to Shechem
<07927>_:

and the men
<01167>

of Shechem
<07927>

put their confidence
<0982> (8799)

in him.

And they went out
<03318> (8799)

into the fields
<07704>_,

and gathered
<01219> (8799)

their vineyards
<03754>_,

and trode
<01869> (8799)

[the grapes], and made
<06213> (8799)

merry
<01974>_,

and went
<0935> (8799)

into the house
<01004>

of their god
<0430>_,

and did eat
<0398> (8799)

and drink
<08354> (8799)_,

and cursed
<07043> (8762)

Abimelech
<040>_.

{merry: or, songs}

And Gaal
<01603>

the son
<01121>

of Ebed
<05651>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who [is] Abimelech
<040>_,

and who [is] Shechem
<07927>_,

that we should serve
<05647> (8799)

him? [is] not [he] the son
<01121>

of Jerubbaal
<03378>_?

and Zebul
<02083>

his officer
<06496>_?

serve
<05647> (8798)

the men
<0582>

of Hamor
<02544>

the father
<01>

of Shechem
<07927>_:

for why should we serve
<05647> (8799)

him?

And would to God this people
<05971>

were under
<05414> (8799)

my hand
<03027>_!

then would I remove
<05493> (8686)

Abimelech
<040>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)

to Abimelech
<040>_,

Increase
<07235> (8761)

thine army
<06635>_,

and come out
<03318> (8798)_.

And when Zebul
<02083>

the ruler
<08269>

of the city
<05892>

heard
<08085> (8799)

the words
<01697>

of Gaal
<01603>

the son
<01121>

of Ebed
<05651>_,

his anger
<0639>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)_.

{kindled: or, hot}

And he sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

unto Abimelech
<040>

privily
<08649>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, Gaal
<01603>

the son
<01121>

of Ebed
<05651>

and his brethren
<0251>

be come
<0935> (8802)

to Shechem
<07927>_;

and, behold, they fortify
<06696> (8802)

the city
<05892>

against thee. {privily: Heb. craftily or, to Tormah}

Now therefore up
<06965> (8798)

by night
<03915>_,

thou and the people
<05971>

that [is] with thee, and lie in wait
<0693> (8798)

in the field
<07704>_:

And it shall be, [that] in the morning
<01242>_,

as soon as the sun
<08121>

is up
<02224> (8800)_,

thou shalt rise early
<07925> (8686)_,

and set
<06584> (8804)

upon the city
<05892>_:

and, behold, [when] he and the people
<05971>

that [is] with him come out
<03318> (8802)

against thee, then mayest thou do
<06213> (8804)

to them as thou
<03027>

shalt find occasion
<04672> (8799)_.

{as thou shalt...: Heb. as thine hand shall find}

And Abimelech
<040>

rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and all the people
<05971>

that [were] with him, by night
<03915>_,

and they laid wait
<0693> (8799)

against Shechem
<07927>

in four
<0702>

companies
<07218>_.

And Gaal
<01603>

the son
<01121>

of Ebed
<05651>

went out
<03318> (8799)_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

in the entering
<06607>

of the gate
<08179>

of the city
<05892>_:

and Abimelech
<040>

rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and the people
<05971>

that [were] with him, from lying in wait
<03993>_.

And when Gaal
<01603>

saw
<07200> (8799)

the people
<05971>_,

he said
<0559> (8799)

to Zebul
<02083>_,

Behold, there come
<03381> (0)

people
<05971>

down
<03381> (8802)

from the top
<07218>

of the mountains
<02022>_.

And Zebul
<02083>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thou seest
<07200> (8802)

the shadow
<06738>

of the mountains
<02022>

as [if they were] men
<0582>_.

And Gaal
<01603>

spake
<01696> (8763)

again
<03254> (8686)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

See there come
<03381> (0)

people
<05971>

down
<03381> (8802)

by the middle
<02872>

of the land
<0776>_,

and another
<0259>

company
<07218>

come
<0935> (8804)

along by the plain
<0436>

of
<01870>

Meonenim
<06049> (8781)_.

{middle: Heb. navel} {Meonenim: or, the regarders of times}

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Zebul
<02083>

unto him, Where [is] now
<0645>

thy mouth
<06310>_,

wherewith thou saidst
<0559> (8799)_,

Who [is] Abimelech
<040>_,

that we should serve
<05647> (8799)

him? [is] not this the people
<05971>

that thou hast despised
<03988> (8804)_?

go out
<03318> (8798)_,

I pray now
<04994>_,

and fight
<03898> (8734)

with them.

And Gaal
<01603>

went out
<03318> (8799)

before
<06440>

the men
<01167>

of Shechem
<07927>_,

and fought
<03898> (8735)

with Abimelech
<040>_.

And Abimelech
<040>

chased
<07291> (8799)

him, and he fled
<05127> (8799)

before
<06440>

him, and many
<07227>

were overthrown
<05307> (8799)

[and] wounded
<02491>_,

[even] unto the entering
<06607>

of the gate
<08179>_.

And Abimelech
<040>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

at Arumah
<0725>_:

and Zebul
<02083>

thrust out
<01644> (8762)

Gaal
<01603>

and his brethren
<0251>_,

that they should not dwell
<03427> (8800)

in Shechem
<07927>_.

And it came to pass on the morrow
<04283>_,

that the people
<05971>

went out
<03318> (8799)

into the field
<07704>_;

and they told
<05046> (8686)

Abimelech
<040>_.

And he took
<03947> (8799)

the people
<05971>_,

and divided
<02673> (8799)

them into three
<07969>

companies
<07218>_,

and laid wait
<0693> (8799)

in the field
<07704>_,

and looked
<07200> (8799)_,

and, behold, the people
<05971>

[were] come forth
<03318> (8802)

out of the city
<05892>_;

and he rose up
<06965> (8799)

against them, and smote
<05221> (8686)

them.

And Abimelech
<040>_,

and the company
<07218>

that [was] with him, rushed forward
<06584> (8804)_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

in the entering
<06607>

of the gate
<08179>

of the city
<05892>_:

and the two
<08147>

[other] companies
<07218>

ran upon
<06584> (8804)

all [the people] that [were] in the fields
<07704>_,

and slew
<05221> (8686)

them.

And Abimelech
<040>

fought
<03898> (8738)

against the city
<05892>

all that day
<03117>_;

and he took
<03920> (8799)

the city
<05892>_,

and slew
<02026> (8804)

the people
<05971>

that [was] therein, and beat down
<05422> (8799)

the city
<05892>_,

and sowed
<02232> (8799)

it with salt
<04417>_.

And when all the men
<01167>

of the tower
<04026>

of Shechem
<07927>

heard
<08085> (8799)

[that], they entered
<0935> (8799)

into an hold
<06877>

of the house
<01004>

of the god
<0410>

Berith
<01286>_.

And it was told
<05046> (8714)

Abimelech
<040>_,

that all the men
<01167>

of the tower
<04026>

of Shechem
<07927>

were gathered together
<06908> (8694)_.

And Abimelech
<040>

gat him up
<05927> (8799)

to mount
<02022>

Zalmon
<06756>_,

he and all the people
<05971>

that [were] with him; and Abimelech
<040>

took
<03947> (8799)

an axe
<07134>

in his hand
<03027>_,

and cut down
<03772> (8799)

a bough
<07754>

from the trees
<06086>_,

and took
<05375> (8799)

it, and laid
<07760> (8799)

[it] on his shoulder
<07926>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto the people
<05971>

that [were] with him, What ye have seen
<07200> (8804)

me do
<06213> (8804)_,

make haste
<04116> (8761)_,

[and] do
<06213> (8798)

as I
<03644>

[have done]. {me do: Heb. I have done}

And all the people
<05971>

likewise cut down
<03772> (8799)

every man
<0376>

his bough
<07754>_,

and followed
<03212> (8799) <0310>

Abimelech
<040>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

[them] to the hold
<06877>_,

and set
<03341> (8686)

the hold
<06877>

on fire
<0784>

upon them; so that all the men
<0582>

of the tower
<04026>

of Shechem
<07927>

died
<04191> (8799)

also, about a thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>

and women
<0802>_.

Then went
<03212> (8799)

Abimelech
<040>

to Thebez
<08405>_,

and encamped
<02583> (8799)

against Thebez
<08405>_,

and took
<03920> (8799)

it.

But there was a strong
<05797>

tower
<04026>

within
<08432>

the city
<05892>_,

and thither fled
<05127> (8799)

all the men
<0582>

and women
<0802>_,

and all they
<01167>

of the city
<05892>_,

and shut
<05462> (8799)

[it] to them, and gat them up
<05927> (8799)

to the top
<01406>

of the tower
<04026>_.

And Abimelech
<040>

came
<0935> (8799)

unto the tower
<04026>_,

and fought
<03898> (8735)

against it, and went hard
<05066> (8799)

unto the door
<06607>

of the tower
<04026>

to burn
<08313> (8800)

it with fire
<0784>_.

And a certain
<0259>

woman
<0802>

cast
<07993> (8686)

a piece
<06400>

of a millstone
<07393>

upon Abimelech's
<040>

head
<07218>_,

and all to brake
<07533> (8686)

his skull
<01538>_.

Then he called
<07121> (8799)

hastily
<04120>

unto the young man
<05288>

his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Draw
<08025> (8798)

thy sword
<02719>_,

and slay
<04191> (8786)

me, that men say
<0559> (8799)

not of me, A woman
<0802>

slew
<02026> (8804)

him. And his young man
<05288>

thrust him through
<01856> (8799)_,

and he died
<04191> (8799)_.

And when the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

saw
<07200> (8799)

<040>

was dead
<04191> (8804)_,

they departed
<03212> (8799)

every man
<0376>

unto his place
<04725>_.

Thus God
<0430>

rendered
<07725> (8686)

the wickedness
<07451>

of Abimelech
<040>_,

which he did
<06213> (8804)

unto his father
<01>_,

in slaying
<02026> (8800)

his seventy
<07657>

brethren
<0251>_:

And all the evil
<07451>

of the men
<0582>

of Shechem
<07927>

did God
<0430>

render
<07725> (8689)

upon their heads
<07218>_:

and upon them came
<0935> (8799)

the curse
<07045>

of Jotham
<03147>

the son
<01121>

of Jerubbaal
<03378>_.
