Judges 9:22-29

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)_.
