Judges 9:4-6
International Standard Version
4 and they gave him 70 silver coins from the temple that they had built to[a] Baal-berith. Abimelech hired some worthless and useless men, who followed him 5 to his father’s house in Ophrah. There he murdered his own brothers, Jerubbaal’s sons—all 70 of them—in one place.[b] But Jerubbaal’s youngest son Jotham survived by hiding himself.
6 All the men from Shechem and Beth-millo[c] gathered together and set up Abimelech as king near the pillar erected[d] in Shechem.
