Judges 9:17-19
Lexham English Bible
17 for my father fought and risked his life[a] for you and delivered you from the hand of Midian; 18 but today you have risen against the house of my father and killed his sons, seventy men on one stone, and you have made Abimelech, the son of his slave woman, a king over the lords of Shechem, because he is your relative[b]— 19 if you have acted in good faith[c] and sincerity with Jerub-Baal and his house this day, then rejoice in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you.

Judges 9:17-19
New International Version
17 Remember that my father fought for you and risked(A) his life to rescue you from the hand of Midian. 18 But today you have revolted against my father’s family. You have murdered his seventy sons(B) on a single stone and have made Abimelek, the son of his female slave, king over the citizens of Shechem because he is related to you. 19 So have you acted honorably and in good faith toward Jerub-Baal and his family today?(C) If you have, may Abimelek be your joy, and may you be his, too!
