[233]
NOW Gideon had seventy sons that were legitimate, for he had many
wives; but he had also one that was spurious, by his concubine Drumah,
whose name was Abimelech, who, after his father's death, retired to Shecbem
to his mother's relations, for they were of that place: and when he had
got money of such of them as were eminent for many instances of injustice,
he came with them to his father's house, and slew all his brethren, except
Jotham, for he had the good fortune to escape and be preserved; but Abimelech
made the government tyrannical, and constituted himself a lord, to do what
he pleased, instead of obeying the laws; and he acted most rigidly against
those that were the patrons of justice.
