Judges 9:6-8
International Standard Version
6 All the men from Shechem and Beth-millo[a] gathered together and set up Abimelech as king near the pillar erected[b] in Shechem. 7 When Jotham was informed about this, he went out, took his stand on top of Mount Gerizim, and cried out loudly, “Listen to me, you “lords” of Shechem, and God will listen to you.
“So they told the olive tree,
‘Reign over us!’
