So he came to the men of Succoth and said, Here are Zebah and Zalmunna, on account of whom you made sport of me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna even now in your hand, that we are to give bread to your army who are overcome with weariness?

אוֹתִ֜י (אוֹתִ֜) 'o.T “<obj.>”

Then he took the responsible men of the town and had them crushed on a bed of thorns and sharp stems.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”אֵ֖ת 'et “<obj.>”

And he had the tower of Penuel broken down and the men of the town put to death.

וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And he said, They were my brothers, my mother's sons: by the life of the Lord, if you had kept them safe, I would not put you to death.

אוֹתָ֔ם (אוֹתָ֔) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”אֶתְכֶֽם׃ (אֶתְ) 'et. “<obj.>”

Then he said to Jether, his oldest son, Up! Put them to death. But the boy did not take out his sword, fearing because he was still a boy.

אוֹתָ֑ם (אוֹתָ֑) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Up! Put an end to us yourself: for you have a man's strength. Then Gideon got up and put Zebah and Zalmunna to death and took the ornaments which were on their camels' necks.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And they gave answer, We will gladly give them. So they put down a robe, every man dropping into it the ear-rings he had taken.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Gideon made an ephod from them and put it up in his town Ophrah; and all Israel went after it there and were false to the Lord; and it became a cause of sin to Gideon and his house.

And the servant-wife he had in Shechem had a son by him, to whom he gave the name Abimelech.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the children of Israel did not keep in their minds the Lord their God, who had been their saviour from all their haters on every side;

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אוֹתָ֛ם (אוֹתָ֛) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

So his mother's family said all this about him in the ears of all the townsmen of Shechem: and their hearts were turned to Abimelech, for they said, He is our brother.

אֵ֥ת 'et “<obj.>”

Then he went to his father's house at Ophrah, and put his brothers, the seventy sons of Jerubbaal, to death on the same stone; however, Jotham, the youngest, kept himself safe by going away to a secret place.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And all the townsmen of Shechem and all Beth-millo came together and went and made Abimelech their king, by the oak of the pillar in Shechem.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

But the olive-tree said to them, Am I to give up my wealth of oil, by which men give honour to God, and go waving over the trees?

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

But the fig-tree said to them, Am I to give up my sweet taste and my good fruit and go waving over the trees?

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

But the vine said to them, Am I to give up my wine, which makes glad God and men, to go waving over the trees?

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the thorn said to the trees, If it is truly your desire to make me your king, then come and put your faith in my shade; and if not, may fire come out of the thorn, burning up the cedars of Lebanon.

אֹתִ֤י (אֹתִ֤) 'o.T “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

So now, if you have done truly and uprightly in making Abimelech king, and if you have done well to Jerubbaal and his house in reward for the work of his hands;

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

(For my father made war for you, and put his life in danger, and made you free from the hands of Midian;

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶתְכֶ֖ם (אֶתְ) 'et. “<obj.>”

And you have gone against my father's family this day, and have put to death his sons, even seventy men on one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his servant-wife, king over the townsmen of Shechem because he is your brother;)

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

But if not, may fire come out from Abimelech, burning up the townsmen of Shechem and Beth-millo; and may fire come out from the townsmen of Shechem and Beth-millo, for the destruction of Abimelech.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

So that punishment for the violent attack made on the seventy sons of Jerubbaal, and for their blood, might come on Abimelech, their brother, who put them to death, and on the townsmen of Shechem who gave him their help in putting his brothers to death.

אוֹתָ֔ם (אוֹתָ֔) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the townsmen of Shechem put secret watchers on the tops of the mountains, and they made attacks on all who went by on the road and took their goods; and word of this came to Abimelech.

אֵ֛ת 'et “<obj.>”

And they went out into their fields and got in the fruit of their vines, and when the grapes had been crushed, they made a holy feast and went into the house of their god, and over their food and drink they were cursing Abimelech.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Gaal, the son of Ebed, said, Who is Abimelech and who is Shechem, that we are to be his servants? Is it not right for the son of Jerubbaal and Zebul his captain to be servants to the men of Hamor, the father of Shechem? But why are we to be his serva
