*
Then said all the trees unto the bramble ,
Come thou ,
and reign over us .
*
And the bramble said unto the trees ,
If in truth ye anoint me king over you ,
then come and put your trust in my shadow :
and if not ,
let fire come out of the bramble ,
and devour the cedars of Lebanon .
*
Now therefore ,
if ye have done truly and sincerely ,
in that ye have made Abimelech king ,
and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house ,
and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands ;
* (
For my father fought for you ,
and adventured his life far ,
and delivered you out of the hand of Midian :
*
And ye are risen up against my fathers house this day ,
and have slain his sons ,
threescore and ten persons ,
upon one stone ,
and have made Abimelech ,
the son of his maidservant ,
king over the men of Shechem ,
because he is your brother ; )
*
If ye then have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal and with his house this day ,
then rejoice ye in Abimelech ,
and let him also rejoice in you :
*
But if not ,
let fire come out from Abimelech ,
and devour the men of Shechem ,
and the house of Millo Beyth ;
and let fire come out from the men of Shechem ,
and from the house of Millo Beyth ,
and devour Abimelech .
