Judges 9:22-25

Judges 9:22-25

[22] When Abimelech  had reigned  three  years  over Israel,  [23] Then God  sent  an evil  spirit  between Abimelech  and the men  of Shechem;  and the men  of Shechem  dealt treacherously  with Abimelech:  [24] That the cruelty  done to the threescore and ten  sons  of Jerubbaal  might come,  and their blood  be laid  upon Abimelech  their brother,  which slew  them; and upon the men  of Shechem,  which aided  him in the killing  of his brethren.  [25] And the men  of Shechem  set  liers in wait  for him in the top  of the mountains,  and they robbed  all that came  along that way  by them: and it was told  Abimelech.
