Abimelech kills his brothers, seventy persons, on one stone, and the men of Shechem make him king
아비멜렉이 형제 칠십인을 한 반석 위에서 죽이고 세겜 사람들이 아비멜렉으로 왕을 삼음
Judges 9:1–6: Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal goes to Shechem to his mother’s brothers, and speaks with them and with all the family of the house of his mother’s father, saying, “Please speak in the ears of all the men of Shechem, ‘Is it better for you that all the sons of Jerubbaal, who are seventy persons, rule over you, or that one rule over you?’ Remember also that I am your bone and your flesh.” His mother’s brothers speak of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words. Their hearts incline to follow Abimelech; for they say, “He is our brother.” They give him seventy pieces of silver out of the house of Baal Berith, with which Abimelech hires vain and reckless fellows who follow him. He goes to his father’s house at Ophrah, and kills his brothers the sons of Jerubbaal, being seventy persons, on one stone; but Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal is left, for he hid himself. All the men of Shechem assemble themselves together with all the house of Millo, and go and make Abimelech king by the oak of the pillar that was in Shechem.
