Judges 9:18-20

Expanded Bible

¹⁸ But now you have ·turned [revolted; risen up] against my father’s ·family [^Lhouse] and have killed his seventy sons on one stone [v. 5]. You have made Abimelech, the son of my father’s ·slave girl [maidservant], king over the ·leaders [leading citizens; lords] of Shechem just because he is your ·relative [brother]! ¹⁹ So then, if you have ·been honest and sincere [acted in truth and integrity/blamelessness] to Jerub-Baal [^CGideon; 6:32] and his ·family [^Lhouse] today, ·be happy with [rejoice in] Abimelech as your king. And may he ·be happy with [rejoice in] you! ²⁰ But if not, may fire come out of Abimelech and completely burn you ·leaders [leading citizens; lords] of Shechem and Beth Millo [^Cthe cedars of Lebanon in the allegory; v. 15]! Also may fire come out of the ·leaders [leading citizens; lords] of Shechem and Beth Millo and burn up Abimelech!”
