Judges 9:24
The cruelty - That is, the punishment of the cruelty.
Downfall of Abimelech
22 After Abimelech had reigned over Israel three years,
23 aGod sent a bspirit of ill will between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem cdealt treacherously with Abimelech,
24 athat the crime done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might be settled and their bblood be laid on Abimelech their brother, who killed them, and on the men of Shechem, who aided him in the killing of his brothers.
25 And the men of Shechem set men in ambush against him on the tops of the mountains, and they robbed all who passed by them along that way; and it was told Abimelech.
26 Now Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brothers and went over to Shechem; and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him.
