Judges 9:6-8

21st Century King James Version

⁶ And all the men of Shechem gathered together, and all the house of Bethmillo, and went and made Abimelech king by the plain of the pillar that was in Shechem.

⁷ And when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood on the top of Mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice and cried, and said unto them, “Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you.

⁸ The trees went forth once to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, ‘Reign thou over us.’
