¹⁸ and ye have risen against the house of my father to-day, and slay his sons, seventy men, on one stone, and cause Abimelech son of his handmaid to reign over the masters of Shechem, because he `is' your brother --

⁵ and he goeth into the house of his father at Ophrah, and slayeth his brethren, sons of Jerubbaal, seventy men, on one stone; and Jotham, youngest son of Jerubbaal, is left, for he was hidden.

⁶ And all the masters of Shechem are gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and come and cause Abimelech to reign for king at the oak of the camp which `is' in Shechem;

³⁰ and to Gideon there have been seventy sons, coming out of his loin, for he had many wives;

³¹ and his concubine, who `is' in Shechem, hath born to him -- even she -- a son, and he appointeth his name Abimelech.

³⁵ neither have they done kindness with the house of Jerubbaal -- Gideon -- according to all the good which he did with Israel.

¹⁴ And all the trees say unto the bramble, Come thou, reign over us.

⁴ For my love they oppose me, and I -- prayer!
