Judges 9:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ And all the men of Sichem were gathered together, and all the families of the city of Mello: and they went and made Abimelech king, by the oak that stood in Sichem.

⁷ This being told to Joatham, he went and stood on the top of mount Garizim: and lifting up his voice, he cried, and said: Hear me, ye men of Sichem, so may God hear you.

⁸ The trees went to anoint a king over them: and they said to the olive tree: Reign thou over us.
