Judges 9:4-6
Lexham English Bible
4 And they gave to him seventy pieces of silver from the temple[a] of Baal-Berith, and Abimelech hired with them[b] worthless and reckless men, and they followed him.[c] 5 And he went to his father’s house at Ophrah, and he killed his brothers, the sons of Jerub-Baal, seventy men, on one stone. But Jotham the youngest son of Jerub-Baal survived, because he hid himself. 6 All the lords of Shechem and Beth-Millo gathered, and they went and made Abimelech as king, near the oak[d] of the pillar that is at Shechem.
