Judges 9:17-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ Remember, my father fought for you. He risked his life to save you from the power of the Midianites. ¹⁸ But now you have turned against my father’s family. You have killed my father’s 70 sons on one stone. You have made Abimelech king over the people of Shechem. He is the son of my father’s slave girl! You have made Abimelech king just because he is your relative. ¹⁹ So then, if you have been honest and sincere to Gideon and his family today, be happy with Abimelech as your king. And may he be happy with you!
