21Then Jotham ran away, escaping to Beer, and he lived there for fear of his brother Abimelech.

22After Abimelech had reigned over Israel for three years,

23God sent a spirit of animosity between Abimelech and the leaders of Shechem and caused them to treat Abimelech deceitfully,

24In order that the crime against the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come to justice and their blood be avenged on their brother Abimelech and on the leaders of Shechem, who had helped him murder his brothers.
