Judges 9:6-8

Darby Translation

⁶ And all the citizens of Shechem gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and went and made Abimelech king, by the memorial-oak that is in Shechem.

⁷ And they told it to Jotham, and he went and stood on the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said to them, Hearken to me, ye citizens of Shechem, that God may hearken to you.

⁸ The trees once went forth to anoint a king over them; and they said to the olive-tree, Reign over us.
