Judges 9:22-24

EasyEnglish Bible

Abimelech rules Israel

²² Abimelech ruled Israel for three years. ²³ Then God caused the leaders of Shechem to turn against Abimelech. They were no longer friends. ²⁴ God did this to punish Abimelech because he had killed his brothers, Gideon's 70 sons. The leaders of Shechem were also guilty for their murder, because they had helped Abimelech.
