Web Parallel Bible with Kjvp for Judges 9 42

1 Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem to his mother's brothers, and spoke with them, and with all the family of the house of his mother's father, saying,

2 Please speak in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Whether is better for you, that all the sons of Jerubbaal, who are seventy persons, rule over you, or that one rule over you? Remember also that I am your bone and your flesh.

3 His mother's brothers spoke of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words: and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech; for they said, He is our brother.

4 They gave him seventy pieces of silver out of the house of Baal Berith, with which Abimelech hired vain and light fellows, who followed him.

5 He went to his father's house at Ophrah, and killed his brothers the sons of Jerubbaal, being seventy persons, on one stone: but Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left; for he hid himself.

6 All the men of Shechem assembled themselves together, and all the house of Millo, and went and made Abimelech king, by the oak of the pillar that was in Shechem.

7 When they told it to Jotham, he went and stood on the top of Mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said to them, Listen to me, you men of Shechem, that God may listen to you.

8 The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said to the olive tree, Reign you over us.

9 But the olive tree said to them, Should I leave my fatness, with which by me they honor God and man, and go to wave back and forth over the trees?

10 The trees said to the fig tree, Come you, and reign over us.

11 But the fig tree said to them, Should I leave my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to wave back and forth over the trees?

12 The trees said to the vine, Come you, and reign over us.

13 The vine said to them, Should I leave my new wine, which cheers God and man, and go to wave back and forth over the trees?

14 Then said all the trees to the bramble, Come you, and reign over us.

15 The bramble said to the trees, If in truth you anoint me king over you, then come and take refuge in my shade; and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.

16 Now therefore, if you have dealt truly and righteously, in that you have made Abimelech king, and if you have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done to him according to the deserving of his hands

17 (for my father fought for you, and adventured his life, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian:

18 and you are risen up against my father's house this day, and have slain his sons, seventy persons, on one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maid-servant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother);

19 if you then have dealt truly and righteously with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then rejoice you in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you:

20 but if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech.

21 Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and lived there, for fear of Abimelech his brother.

22 Abimelech was prince over Israel three years.

23 God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech:

24 that the violence done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come, and that their blood might be laid on Abimelech their brother, who killed them, and on the men of Shechem, who strengthened his hands to kill his brothers.

25 The men of Shechem set liers-in-wait for him on the tops of the mountains, and they robbed all who came along that way by them: and it was told Abimelech.

26 Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brothers, and went over to Shechem; and the men of Shechem put their trust in him.

27 They went out into the field, and gathered their vineyards, and trod the grapes, and held festival, and went into the house of their god, and did eat and drink, and cursed Abimelech.

28 Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? Isn't he the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve you the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: but why should we serve him?

29 Would that this people were under my hand! then would I remove Abimelech. He said to Abimelech, Increase your army, and come out.

30 When Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.

31 He sent messengers to Abimelech craftily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brothers are come to Shechem; and, behold, they constrain the city to take part against you.

32 Now therefore, up by night, you and the people who are with you, and lie in wait in the field:

33 and it shall be, that in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, you shall rise early, and rush on the city; and, behold, when he and the people who are with him come out against you, then may you do to them as you shall find occasion.

34 Abimelech rose up, and all the people who were with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies.

35 Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city: and Abimelech rose up, and the people who were with him, from the ambush.

36 When Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold, there come people down from the tops of the mountains. Zebul said to him, You see the shadow of the mountains as if they were men.

37 Gaal spoke again and said, Behold, there come people down by the middle of the land, and one company comes by the way of the oak of Meonenim.

38 Then said Zebul to him, Where is now your mouth, that you said, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? is not this the people that you have despised? go out now, I pray, and fight with them.

39 Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech.

40 Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and there fell many wounded, even to the entrance of the gate.

41 Abimelech lived at Arumah: and Zebul drove out Gaal and his brothers, that they should not dwell in Shechem.

42 It happened on the next day, that the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech.

43 He took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the field; and he looked, and, behold, the people came forth out of the city; He rose up against them, and struck them.

44 Abimelech, and the companies that were with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city: and the two companies rushed on all who were in the field, and struck them.

45 Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and killed the people who were therein: and he beat down the city, and sowed it with salt.

46 When all the men of the tower of Shechem heard of it, they entered into the stronghold of the house of Elberith.

47 It was told Abimelech that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.

48 Abimelech got him up to Mount Zalmon, he and all the people who were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it up, and laid it on his shoulder: and he said to the people who were with him, What you have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done.

49 All the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the stronghold, and set the stronghold on fire on them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.

50 Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it.

51 But there was a strong tower within the city, and there fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut themselves in, and got them up to the roof of the tower.

52 Abimelech came to the tower, and fought against it, and drew near to the door of the tower to burn it with fire.

53 A certain woman cast an upper millstone on Abimelech's head, and broke his skull.

54 Then he called hastily to the young man his armor bearer, and said to him, Draw your sword, and kill me, that men not say of me, A woman killed him. His young man thrust him through, and he died.

55 When the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man to his place.

56 Thus God requited the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did to his father, in killing his seventy brothers;

57 and all the wickedness of the men of Shechem did God requite on their heads: and on them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.

1 And Abimelech ^H40 the son ^H1121 of Jerubbaal ^H3378 went ^H1980 to Shechem ^H7927 unto ^H413 his mother's ^H517 brethren, ^H251 and communed ^H1696 with ^H413 them , and with ^H413 all ^H3605 the family ^H4940 of the house ^H1004 of his mother's ^H517 father, ^H1 saying, ^H559

2 Speak ^H1696 , I pray you, ^H4994 in the ears ^H241 of all ^H3605 the men ^H1167 of Shechem, ^H7927 Whether ^H4100 is better ^H2896 for you , either that all ^H3605 the sons ^H1121 of Jerubbaal, ^H3378 which are threescore and ten ^H7657 persons, ^H376 reign ^H4910 over you, or ^H518 that one ^H259 reign ^H4910 over you? remember ^H2142 also that ^H3588 I ^H589 am your bone ^H6106 and your flesh. ^H1320

3 And his mother's ^H517 brethren ^H251 spoke ^H1696 of ^H5921 him in the ears ^H241 of all ^H3605 the men ^H1167 of Shechem ^H7927 ^H853 all ^H3605 these ^H428 words: ^H1697 and their hearts ^H3820 inclined to follow ^H5186 ^H310 Abimelech; ^H40 for ^H3588 they said, ^H559 He ^H1931 is our brother. ^H251

4 And they gave ^H5414 him threescore and ten ^H7657 pieces of silver ^H3701 out of the house ^H4480 ^H1004 of Baal- ^H1170 berith , wherewith Abimelech ^H40 hired ^H7936 vain ^H7386 and light ^H6348 persons, ^H376 which followed ^H1980 ^H310 him.

5 And he went ^H935 unto his father's ^H1 house ^H1004 at Ophrah, ^H6084 and slew ^H2026 ^H853 his brethren ^H251 the sons ^H1121 of Jerubbaal, ^H3378 being threescore and ten ^H7657 persons, ^H376 upon ^H5921 one ^H259 stone: ^H68 notwithstanding yet Jotham ^H3147 the youngest ^H6996 son ^H1121 of Jerubbaal ^H3378 was left; ^H3498 for ^H3588 he hid himself. ^H2244

6 And all ^H3605 the men ^H1167 of Shechem ^H7927 gathered together, ^H622 and all ^H3605 the house of Millo, ^H1037 and went, ^H1980 and made ^H4427 ^H853 Abimelech ^H40 king, ^H4428 by ^H5973 the plain ^H436 of the pillar ^H5324 that ^H834 was in Shechem. ^H7927

7 And when they told ^H5046 it to Jotham, ^H3147 he went ^H1980 and stood ^H5975 in the top ^H7218 of mount ^H2022 Gerizim, ^H1630 and lifted up ^H5375 his voice, ^H6963 and cried, ^H7121 and said ^H559 unto them, Hearken ^H8085 unto ^H413 me , ye men ^H1167 of Shechem, ^H7927 that God ^H430 may hearken ^H8085 unto ^H413 you.

8 The trees ^H6086 went forth ^H1980 ^H1980 on a time to anoint ^H4886 a king ^H4428 over ^H5921 them ; and they said ^H559 unto the olive tree, ^H2132 Reign ^H4427 thou over ^H5921 us.

9 But the olive tree ^H2132 said ^H559 unto them , Should I leave ^H2308 ^H853 my fatness, ^H1880 wherewith ^H834 by me they honor ^H3513 God ^H430 and man, ^H376 and go ^H1980 to be promoted ^H5128 over ^H5921 the trees ^H6086 ?

10 And the trees ^H6086 said ^H559 to the fig tree, ^H8384 Come ^H1980 thou, ^H859 and reign ^H4427 over ^H5921 us.

11 But the fig tree ^H8384 said ^H559 unto them , Should I forsake ^H2308 ^H853 my sweetness, ^H4987 and my good ^H2896 fruit, ^H8570 and go ^H1980 to be promoted ^H5128 over ^H5921 the trees ^H6086 ?

12 Then said ^H559 the trees ^H6086 unto the vine, ^H1612 Come ^H1980 thou, ^H859 and reign ^H4427 over ^H5921 us.

13 And the vine ^H1612 said ^H559 unto them , Should I leave ^H2308 ^H853 my wine, ^H8492 which cheereth ^H8055 God ^H430 and man, ^H376 and go ^H1980 to be promoted ^H5128 over ^H5921 the trees ^H6086 ?

14 Then said ^H559 all ^H3605 the trees ^H6086 unto ^H413 the bramble, ^H329 Come ^H1980 thou, ^H859 and reign ^H4427 over ^H5921 us.

15 And the bramble ^H329 said ^H559 unto ^H413 the trees, ^H6086 If ^H518 in truth ^H571 ye ^H859 anoint ^H4886 me king ^H4428 over ^H5921 you, then come ^H935 and put your trust ^H2620 in my shadow: ^H6738 and if ^H518 not, ^H369 let fire ^H784 come out ^H3318 of ^H4480 the bramble, ^H329 and devour ^H398 ^H853 the cedars ^H730 of Lebanon. ^H3844

16 Now ^H6258 therefore, if ^H518 ye have done ^H6213 truly ^H571 and sincerely, ^H8549 in that ye have made Abimelech king ^H4427 ^H853 ^H40 , and if ^H518 ye have dealt ^H6213 well ^H2896 with ^H5973 Jerubbaal ^H3378 and his house, ^H1004 and have done ^H6213 unto him according to the deserving ^H1576 of his hands; ^H3027

17 ( For ^H834 my father ^H1 fought ^H3898 for ^H5921 you , and adventured ^H7993 ^H853 his life ^H5315 far ^H4480 ^H5048 , and delivered ^H5337 you out of the hand ^H4480 ^H3027 of Midian: ^H4080

18 And ye ^H859 are risen up ^H6965 against ^H5921 my father's ^H1 house ^H1004 this day, ^H3117 and have slain ^H2026 ^H853 his sons, ^H1121 threescore and ten ^H7657 persons, ^H376 upon ^H5921 one ^H259 stone, ^H68 and have made ^H853 Abimelech, ^H40 the son ^H1121 of his maidservant, ^H519 king ^H4427 over ^H5921 the men ^H1167 of Shechem, ^H7927 because ^H3588 he ^H1931 is your brother; ^H251 )

19 If ^H518 ye then have dealt ^H6213 truly ^H571 and sincerely ^H8549 with ^H5973 Jerubbaal ^H3378 and with ^H5973 his house ^H1004 this ^H2088 day, ^H3117 then rejoice ^H8055 ye in Abimelech, ^H40 and let him ^H1931 also ^H1571 rejoice ^H8055 in you:

20 But if ^H518 not, ^H369 let fire ^H784 come out ^H3318 from Abimelech ^H4480 ^H40 , and devour ^H398 ^H853 the men ^H1167 of Shechem, ^H7927 and the house ^H1004 of Millo; ^H4407 and let fire ^H784 come out ^H3318 from the men ^H4480 ^H1167 of Shechem, ^H7927 and from the house ^H4480 ^H1004 of Millo, ^H4407 and devour ^H398 ^H853 Abimelech. ^H40

21 And Jotham ^H3147 ran away, ^H5127 and fled, ^H1272 and went ^H1980 to Beer, ^H876 and dwelt ^H3427 there, ^H8033 for fear ^H4480 ^H6440 of Abimelech ^H40 his brother. ^H251

22 When Abimelech ^H40 had reigned ^H7786 three ^H7969 years ^H8141 over ^H5921 Israel, ^H3478

23 Then God ^H430 sent ^H7971 an evil ^H7451 spirit ^H7307 between ^H996 Abimelech ^H40 and the men ^H1167 of Shechem; ^H7927 and the men ^H1167 of Shechem ^H7927 dealt treacherously ^H898 with Abimelech: ^H40

24 That the cruelty ^H2555 done to the threescore and ten ^H7657 sons ^H1121 of Jerubbaal ^H3378 might come, ^H935 and their blood ^H1818 be laid ^H7760 upon ^H5921 Abimelech ^H40 their brother, ^H251 which ^H834 slew ^H2026 them ; and upon ^H5921 the men ^H1167 of Shechem, ^H7927 which ^H834 aided ^H2388 ^H853 ^H3027 him in the killing ^H2026 of ^H853 his brethren. ^H251

25 And the men ^H1167 of Shechem ^H7927 set ^H7760 liers in wait ^H693 for him in ^H5921 the top ^H7218 of the mountains, ^H2022 and they robbed ^H1497 ^H853 all ^H3605 that ^H834 came along ^H5674 that way ^H1870 by ^H5921 them : and it was told ^H5046 Abimelech. ^H40

26 And Gaal ^H1603 the son ^H1121 of Ebed ^H5651 came ^H935 with his brethren, ^H251 and went over ^H5674 to Shechem: ^H7927 and the men ^H1167 of Shechem ^H7927 put their confidence ^H982 in him.

27 And they went out ^H3318 into the fields, ^H7704 and gathered ^H1219 ^H853 their vineyards, ^H3754 and trod ^H1869 the grapes , and made ^H6213 merry, ^H1974 and went into ^H935 the house ^H1004 of their god, ^H430 and did eat ^H398 and drink, ^H8354 and cursed ^H7043 ^H853 Abimelech. ^H40

28 And Gaal ^H1603 the son ^H1121 of Ebed ^H5651 said, ^H559 Who ^H4310 is Abimelech, ^H40 and who ^H4310 is Shechem, ^H7927 that ^H3588 we should serve ^H5647 him? is not ^H3808 he the son ^H1121 of Jerubbaal ^H3378 ? and Zebul ^H2083 his officer ^H6496 ? serve ^H5647 ^H853 the men ^H376 of Hamor ^H2544 the father ^H1 of Shechem: ^H7928 for why ^H4069 should we ^H587 serve ^H5647 him?

29 And would to God ^H4310 ^H5414 ^H853 this ^H2088 people ^H5971 were under my hand ^H3027 ! then would I remove ^H5493 ^H853 Abimelech. ^H40 And he said ^H559 to Abimelech, ^H40 Increase ^H7235 thine army, ^H6635 and come out. ^H3318

30 And when Zebul ^H2083 the ruler ^H8269 of the city ^H5892 heard ^H8085 ^H853 the words ^H1697 of Gaal ^H1603 the son ^H1121 of Ebed, ^H5651 his anger ^H639 was kindled. ^H2734

31 And he sent ^H7971 messengers ^H4397 unto ^H413 Abimelech ^H40 privily, ^H8649 saying, ^H559 Behold, ^H2009 Gaal ^H1603 the son ^H1121 of Ebed ^H5651 and his brethren ^H251 be come ^H935 to Shechem; ^H7927 and, behold, ^H2009 they fortify ^H6696 ^H853 the city ^H5892 against ^H5921 thee.

32 Now ^H6258 therefore up ^H6965 by night, ^H3915 thou ^H859 and the people ^H5971 that ^H834 is with ^H854 thee , and lie in wait ^H693 in the field: ^H7704

33 And it shall be, ^H1961 that in the morning, ^H1242 as soon as the sun ^H8121 is up, ^H2224 thou shalt rise early, ^H7925 and set ^H6584 upon ^H5921 the city: ^H5892 and, behold, ^H2009 when he ^H1931 and the people ^H5971 that ^H834 is with ^H854 him come out ^H3318 against ^H413 thee , then mayest thou do ^H6213 to them as ^H834 thou shalt find ^H4672 occasion. ^H3027

34 And Abimelech ^H40 rose up, ^H6965 and all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 that ^H834 were with ^H5973 him , by night, ^H3915 and they laid wait ^H693 against ^H5921 Shechem ^H7927 in four ^H702 companies. ^H7218

35 And Gaal ^H1603 the son ^H1121 of Ebed ^H5651 went out, ^H3318 and stood ^H5975 in the entering ^H6607 of the gate ^H8179 of the city: ^H5892 and Abimelech ^H40 rose up, ^H6965 and the people ^H5971 that ^H834 were with ^H854 him, from ^H4480 lying in wait. ^H3993

36 And when Gaal ^H1603 saw ^H7200 ^H853 the people, ^H5971 he said ^H559 to ^H413 Zebul, ^H2083 Behold, ^H2009 there come people down ^H3381 ^H5971 from the top ^H4480 ^H7218 of the mountains. ^H2022 And Zebul ^H2083 said ^H559 unto ^H413 him, Thou ^H859 seest ^H7200 ^H853 the shadow ^H6738 of the mountains ^H2022 as if they were men. ^H376

37 And Gaal ^H1603 spoke ^H1696 again ^H3254 and said, ^H559 See ^H2009 there come people down ^H3381 ^H5971 by ^H4480 ^H5973 the middle ^H2872 of the land, ^H776 and another ^H259 company ^H7218 come ^H935 along by ^H4480 ^H5973 the plain ^H436 of Meonenim. ^H6049

38 Then said ^H559 Zebul ^H2083 unto ^H413 him, Where ^H346 is now ^H645 thy mouth, ^H6310 wherewith ^H834 thou saidst, ^H559 Who ^H4310 is Abimelech, ^H40 that ^H3588 we should serve ^H5647 him? is not ^H3808 this ^H2088 the people ^H5971 that ^H834 thou hast despised ^H3988 ? go out, ^H3318 I pray ^H4994 now, ^H6258 and fight ^H3898 with them.

39 And Gaal ^H1603 went out ^H3318 before ^H6440 the men ^H1167 of Shechem, ^H7927 and fought ^H3898 with Abimelech. ^H40

40 And Abimelech ^H40 chased ^H7291 him , and he fled ^H5127 before ^H4480 ^H6440 him , and many ^H7227 were overthrown ^H5307 and wounded, ^H2491 even unto ^H5704 the entering ^H6607 of the gate. ^H8179

41 And Abimelech ^H40 dwelt ^H3427 at Arumah: ^H725 and Zebul ^H2083 thrust out ^H1644 ^H853 Gaal ^H1603 and his brethren, ^H251 that they should not dwell ^H4480 ^H3427 in Shechem. ^H7927

42 And it came to pass ^H1961 on the morrow ^H4480 ^H4283 , that the people ^H5971 went out ^H3318 into the field; ^H7704 and they told ^H5046 Abimelech. ^H40

43 And he took ^H3947 ^H853 the people, ^H5971 and divided ^H2673 them into three ^H7969 companies, ^H7218 and laid wait ^H693 in the field, ^H7704 and looked, ^H7200 and, behold, ^H2009 the people ^H5971 were come forth ^H3318 out of ^H4480 the city; ^H5892 and he rose up ^H6965 against ^H5921 them , and smote ^H5221 them.

44 And Abimelech, ^H40 and the company ^H7218 that ^H834 was with ^H5973 him , rushed forward, ^H6584 and stood ^H5975 in the entering ^H6607 of the gate ^H8179 of the city: ^H5892 and the two ^H8147 other companies ^H7218 ran ^H6584 upon ^H5921 all ^H3605 the people that ^H834 were in the fields, ^H7704 and slew ^H5221 them.

45 And Abimelech ^H40 fought ^H3898 against the city ^H5892 all ^H3605 that ^H1931 day; ^H3117 and he took ^H3920 ^H853 the city, ^H5892 and slew ^H2026 the people ^H5971 that ^H834 was therein , and beat down ^H5422 ^H853 the city, ^H5892 and sowed ^H2232 it with salt. ^H4417

46 And when all ^H3605 the men ^H1167 of the tower ^H4026 of Shechem ^H7927 heard ^H8085 that , they entered ^H935 into ^H413 a hold ^H6877 of the house ^H1004 of the god ^H410 Berith. ^H1286

47 And it was told ^H5046 Abimelech, ^H40 that ^H3588 all ^H3605 the men ^H1167 of the tower ^H4026 of Shechem ^H7927 were gathered together. ^H6908

48 And Abimelech ^H40 got him up ^H5927 to mount ^H2022 Zalmon, ^H6756 he ^H1931 and all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 that ^H834 were with ^H854 him ; and Abimelech ^H40 took ^H3947 ^H853 an axe ^H7134 in his hand, ^H3027 and cut down ^H3772 a bough ^H7754 from the trees, ^H6086 and took ^H5375 it , and laid ^H7760 it on ^H5921 his shoulder, ^H7926 and said ^H559 unto ^H413 the people ^H5971 that ^H834 were with ^H5973 him, What ^H4100 ye have seen ^H7200 me do, ^H6213 make haste, ^H4116 and do ^H6213 as I ^H3644 have done .

49 And all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 likewise ^H1571 cut down ^H3772 every man ^H376 his bough, ^H7754 and followed ^H1980 ^H310 Abimelech, ^H40 and put ^H7760 them to ^H5921 the hold, ^H6877 and set ^H3341 ^H853 the hold ^H6877 on fire ^H784 upon ^H5921 them ; so that all ^H3605 the men ^H376 of the tower ^H4026 of Shechem ^H7927 died ^H4191 also, ^H1571 about a thousand ^H505 men ^H376 and women. ^H802

50 Then went ^H1980 Abimelech ^H40 to ^H413 Thebez, ^H8405 and encamped ^H2583 against Thebez, ^H8405 and took ^H3920 it.

51 But there was ^H1961 a strong ^H5797 tower ^H4026 within ^H8432 the city, ^H5892 and thither ^H8033 fled ^H5127 all ^H3605 the men ^H376 and women, ^H802 and all ^H3605 they ^H1167 of the city, ^H5892 and shut ^H5462 it to ^H1157 them , and got them up ^H5927 to ^H5921 the top ^H1406 of the tower. ^H4026

52 And Abimelech ^H40 came ^H935 unto ^H5704 the tower, ^H4026 and fought ^H3898 against it , and went hard ^H5066 unto ^H5704 the door ^H6607 of the tower ^H4026 to burn ^H8313 it with fire. ^H784

53 And a certain ^H259 woman ^H802 cast ^H7993 a piece ^H6400 of a millstone ^H7393 upon ^H5921 Abimelech's ^H40 head, ^H7218 and all to broke ^H7533 ^H853 his skull. ^H1538

54 Then he called ^H7121 hastily ^H4120 unto ^H413 the young man ^H5288 his armorbearer ^H5375 ^H3627 , and said ^H559 unto him, Draw ^H8025 thy sword, ^H2719 and slay ^H4191 me, that ^H6435 men say ^H559 not of me , A woman ^H802 slew ^H2026 him . And his young man ^H5288 thrust him through, ^H1856 and he died. ^H4191

55 And when the men ^H376 of Israel ^H3478 saw ^H7200 that ^H3588 Abimelech ^H40 was dead, ^H4191 they departed ^H1980 every man ^H376 unto his place. ^H4725

56 Thus God ^H430 rendered ^H7725 ^H853 the wickedness ^H7451 of Abimelech, ^H40 which ^H834 he did ^H6213 unto his father, ^H1 in slaying ^H2026 ^H853 his seventy ^H7657 brethren: ^H251

57 And all ^H3605 the evil ^H7451 of the men ^H376 of Shechem ^H7927 did God ^H430 render ^H7725 upon their heads: ^H7218 and upon ^H413 them came ^H935 the curse ^H7045 of Jotham ^H3147 the son ^H1121 of Jerubbaal. ^H3378
