Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Whether is better for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, which are threescore and ten persons, reign over you, or that one reign over you? remember also that I am your bone and your flesh.

Verse 2 is found in chapter 9 of Judges. Abimelech, Gideon’s son, persuades the inhabitants of Shechem to support him and kills his seventy brothers, except Jotham. The episode represents a radical break with Gideon’s refusal to establish a dynasty. Abimelech seeks power through family violence and political manipulation. His coronation at Shechem shows that Israel’s crisis now involves not only external threats but also internal struggles for dominance.
