Judges 9:6-8
Lexham English Bible
6 All the lords of Shechem and Beth-Millo gathered, and they went and made Abimelech as king, near the oak[a] of the pillar that is at Shechem.
7 And they told Jotham, and he went up and stood on the top of Mount Gerizim, and he cried out loud[b] and said to them, “Listen to me, lords of Shechem, so that God may listen to you.
8 “The trees went certainly,
to anoint a king over themselves.
And they said to the olive tree,
‘Rule over us.’
