Abimelech’s Conspiracy
1 Then Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem, to ahis 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 hearing of all the men of Shechem: ‘Which is better for you, that all aseventy of the sons of Jerubbaal reign over you, or that one reign over you?’ Remember that I am your own flesh and bbone.”
3 And his mother’s brothers spoke all these words concerning him in the hearing of all the men of Shechem; and their heart was inclined to follow Abimelech, for they said, “He is our abrother.”
