Judges 9:22-24

GOD’S WORD Translation

Abimelech’s Battles

²² Abimelech ruled Israel for three years. ²³ Then God sent an evil spirit to cause problems between Abimelech and citizens of Shechem. So citizens of Shechem turned against Abimelech. ²⁴ God did this so that the bloody violence committed against Jerubbaal’s 70 sons would happen to Abimelech and citizens of Shechem. Citizens of Shechem had helped Abimelech execute his brothers.
