Judges 9:23-25

Living Bible

^22-23 Three years later God stirred up trouble between King Abimelech and the citizens of Shechem, and they revolted. ²⁴ In the events that followed, both Abimelech and the citizens of Shechem who aided him in butchering Gideon’s seventy sons were given their just punishment for these murders. ²⁵ For the men of Shechem set an ambush for Abimelech along the trail at the top of the mountain. (While they were waiting for him to come along, they robbed everyone else who passed that way.) But someone warned Abimelech about their plot.
