Judges 9:24-26

New Life Version

²⁴ God did this to punish Abimelech and the men of Shechem, because the seventy sons of Jerubbaal were killed by their brother Abimelech. And the men of Shechem gave him the strength to do it. ²⁵ The men of Shechem went against Abimelech by hiding men on the mountain tops. They robbed all who passed by them on the road. Abimelech was told about it.

²⁶ Now Gaal the son of Ebed moved with his family into Shechem. And the men of Shechem put their trust in him.
