Judges 9:22-24

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

Abimelech’s Punishment

²² When Abimelech had ruled over Israel for three years, ²³ God sent an evil spirit^(A) between Abimelech and the citizens of Shechem. They treated Abimelech deceitfully, ²⁴ so that the crime against the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come to justice and their blood would be avenged on their brother Abimelech, who killed them, and on the citizens of Shechem, who had helped him kill his brothers.
