4 Ils lui donnèrent soixante-dix sicles d’argent, qu’ils enlevèrent de la maison de Baal-Berith. Abimélec s’en servit pour acheter des misérables et des turbulents, qui allèrent après lui.

5 Il vint dans la maison de son père à Ophra, et il tua ses frères, fils de Jerubbaal, soixante-dix hommes, sur une même pierre. Il n’échappa que Jotham, le plus jeune fils de Jerubbaal, car il s’était caché.

6 Tous les habitants de Sichem et toute la maison de Millo se rassemblèrent; ils vinrent, et proclamèrent roi Abimélec, près du chêne planté dans Sichem.

7 Jotham en fut informé. Il alla se placer sur le sommet de la montagne de Garizim, et voici ce qu’il leur cria à haute voix: Écoutez-moi, habitants de Sichem, et que Dieu vous écoute!
