3 And his mother’s relatives spoke all these words concerning him to[a] all the lords of Shechem; and they supported Abimelech,[b] for they said, “He is our relative.”[c] 4 And they gave to him seventy pieces of silver from the temple[d] of Baal-Berith, and Abimelech hired with them[e] worthless and reckless men, and they followed him.[f] 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.
