Judges 9:18-20

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁸ But now you have turned against my father’s family. You have killed 70 of his sons all at the same time. You made Abimelech the new king over the city of Shechem. He is only the son of my father’s slave girl. But you made him king because he is your relative. ¹⁹ So if you have been completely honest to Gideon and his family today, then may you be happy with Abimelech as your king. And may he be happy with you. ²⁰ But leaders of Shechem and the house of Millo,^[a] if you have not acted right, may Abimelech destroy you. And may Abimelech be destroyed too!”
