Judges 9:16-18

New Life Version

¹⁶ “Now it may be that you have acted in truth and honor in making Abimelech king. It may be that you have acted well toward Jerubbaal and his house, by paying him for what he did. ¹⁷ For my father fought for you. He put his life in danger to set you free from the power of Midian. ¹⁸ But you have gone against my father’s house today. You have killed seventy of his sons on one stone. Abimelech is the son of my father’s woman servant. And you have made him king over the people of Shechem, because he is your brother.
