Judges 9:21

Showing verse 21 with surrounding context.

And you are now risen up against my father's house, and have killed his sons, seventy men, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his handmaid, king over the inhabitants of Sichem, because he is your brother:

If therefore you have dealt well, and without fault, with Jerobaal and his house, rejoice ye, this day, in Abimelech, and may he rejoice in you.

But if unjustly: let fire come out from him, and consume the inhabitants of Sichem, and the town of Mello: and let fire come out from the men of Sichem and from the town of Mello, and devour Abimelech.

And when he had said thus, he fled, and went into Bera: and dwelt there for fear of Abimelech, his brother.

So Abimelech reigned over Israel three years.

And the Lord sent a very evil spirit between Abimelech and the inhabitants of Sichem; who began to detest him,

And to lay the crime of the murder of the seventy sons of Jerobaal, and the shedding of their blood, upon Abimelech, their brother, and upon the rest of the princes of the Sichemites, who aided him.
