21. Then Jotam ran away and fled, and went to Beer and remained there because of his brother Abimelech.
22. After Abimelech had ruled over Israel for three years,
23. God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the lords of Shechem. So the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech—
24. in order that the violence done to Jerubbaal’s 70 sons might come due, so their blood might be laid on their brother Abimelech who slew them, and on the lords of Shechem who strengthened his hands to slay his brothers.
