Judges 9

Judges 9:13

Which cheereth God and man.

Which is pleasing to God in the use of his sacrifices, and to men in their feasts.

Judges 9:20

Let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, &c.

Let there be deadly dissension between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and let the one of them be used as a means to plague and destroy the other: let Abimelech burn the Shechemites, and let them kill him.

Judges 9:23

Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem.

Then God, according to the imprecation of Jotham, did, in his just judgment, give way and power to Satan, to set discord between Abimelech and the men of Shechem.

Judges 9:28

Is not he the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem; for why should we serve him?

Is not he the base son of Jerubbaal? and is not this unworthy Zebul his officer? if ye must serve, rather submit yourselves to those that are the issue of the ancient lords of this city, than to this upstart generation.

Judges 9:45

And sowed it with salt.

In sign of an utter solitude and vastation, he sowed salt in the soil of the street there; as those which he would have continued desert and forlorn.
