^24 (A)that the crime done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might be settled and their ^(B)blood be laid on Abimelech their brother, who killed them, and on the men of Shechem, who aided him in the killing of his brothers.

^56 (A)Thus God repaid the wickedness of Abimelech, which he had done to his father by killing his seventy brothers.

⁵⁷ And all the evil of the men of Shechem God returned on their own heads, and on them came ^(A)the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.

³² So the Lord ^(A)will return his ^[a]blood on his head, because he struck down two men more righteous ^(B)and better than he, and killed them with the sword—^(C)Abner the son of Ner, the commander of the army of Israel, and ^(D)Amasa the son of Jether, the commander of the army of Judah—though my father David did not know it.

³³ Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab and ^(A)upon the head of his descendants forever. ^(B)But upon David and his descendants, upon his house and his throne, there shall be peace forever from the Lord.”
