9:7

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.

9:8

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.

9:9

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}

9:10

And the trees
<06086>

said
<0559> (8799)

to the fig tree
<08384>_,

Come
<03212> (8798)

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

over us.

9:11

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>_?

9:12

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the trees
<06086>

unto the vine
<01612>_,

Come
<03212> (8798)

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

over us.

9:13

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>_?

9:14

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}

9:15

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>_.

9:16

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>_;

9:17

(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}

9:18

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>;)

9:19

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:

9:20

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>_.
