Abimelech by conspiracy with the Shechemites, and murder of his brothers, is made king |
Jotham by a parable rebukes them, and foretells their ruin |
Gaal conspires with the Shechemites against him |
Zebul reveals it |
Abimelech overcomes them, and sows the city with salt |
He burns the hold of the god Berith |
At Thebez he is slain by a piece of a millstone |
Jotham's curse is fulfilled. |
