Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel； so that they lifted up their heads no more。 And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon。
8：29约阿施的儿子耶路巴力回去，住在自己家里。
And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house。
8：30基甸有七十个亲生的儿子，因为他有许多的妻。
And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten： for he had many wives。
8：31他的妾住在示剑，也给他生了一个儿子。基甸与他起名叫亚比米勒。
And his concubine that was in Shechem； she also bare him a son； whose name he called Abimelech。
8：32约阿施的儿子基甸，年纪老迈而死，葬在亚比以谢族的俄弗拉，在他父亲约阿施的坟墓里。
And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age； and was buried in the sepulchre of Joash his father； in Ophrah of the Abiezrites。
8：33基甸死后，以色列人又去随从诸巴力行邪淫，以巴力比利土为他们的神。
And it came to pass； as soon as Gideon was dead； that the children of Israel turned again； and went a whoring after Baalim； and made Baalberith their god。
8：34以色列人不记念耶和华他们的神，就是拯救他们脱离四围仇敌之手的，
And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God； who had delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on every side：
8：35也不照着耶路巴力，就是基甸向他们所施的恩惠厚待他的家。
Neither shewed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal； namely； Gideon； according to all the goodness which he had shewed unto Israel。
旧约 士师记（Judges） 第 9 章 （ 本篇共有 21 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
9：1耶路巴力的儿子亚比米勒到了示剑见他的众母舅，对他们和他外祖全家的人说，
And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem unto his mother's brethren； and muned with them； and with all the family of the house of his mother's father； saying；
9：2请你们问示剑的众人说，是耶路巴力的众子七十人都管理你们好呢。还是一人管理你们好呢。你们又要记念我是你们的骨肉。
Speak； I pray you； in the ears of all the men of Shechem； Whether is better for you； either that all the sons of Jerubbaal； which are threescore and ten persons； reign over you； or that one reign over you？ remember also that I am your bone and your flesh。
9：3他的众母舅便将这一切话为他说给示剑人听，示剑人的心就归向亚比米勒。他们说，他原是我们的弟兄。
And his mother's brethren spake of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words： and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech； for they said； He is our brother。
9：4就从巴力比利土的庙中取了七十舍客勒银子给亚比米勒。亚比米勒用以雇了些匪徒跟随他。
And they gave him threescore and ten pieces of silver out of the house of Baalberith； wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light persons； which followed him。
9：5他往俄弗拉到他父亲的家，将他弟兄，耶路巴力的众子七十人都杀在一块磐石上。只剩下耶路巴力的小儿子约坦，因为他躲藏了。
And he went unto his father's house at Ophrah； and slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal； being threescore and ten persons； upon one stone： notwithstanding yet Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left； for he hid himself。
9：6示剑人和米罗人都一同聚集，往示剑橡树旁的柱子那里，立亚比米勒为王。
And all the men of Shechem gathered together； and all the house of Millo； and went； and made Abimelech king； by the plain of the pillar that was in Shechem。
9：7有人将这事告诉约坦，他就去站在基利心山顶上，向众人大声喊叫说，示剑人哪，你们要听我的话，神也就听你们的话。
And when they told it to Jotham； he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim； and lifted up his voice； and cried； and said unto them； Hearken unto me； ye men of Shechem； that God may hearken unto you。
9：8有一时树木要膏一树为王，管理他们，就去对橄榄树说，请你作我们的王。
The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them； and they said unto the olive tree； Reign thou over us。
9：9橄榄树回答说，我岂肯止住供奉神和尊重人的油，飘摇在众树之上呢。
But the olive tree said unto them； Should I leave my fatness； wherewith by me they honour God and man； and go to be promoted over the trees？
9：10树木对无花果树说，请你来作我们的王。
And the trees said to the fig tree； e thou； and reign over us。
9：11无花果树回答说，我岂肯止住所结甜美的果子，飘摇在众树之上呢。
But the fig tree said unto them； Should I forsake my sweetness； and my good fruit； and go to be promoted over the trees？
9：12树木对葡萄树说，请你来作我们的王。
Then said the trees unto the vine； e thou； and reign over us。
9：13葡萄树回答说，我岂肯止住使神和人喜乐的新酒，飘摇在众树之上呢。
And the vine said unto them； Should I leave my wine； which cheereth God and man； and go to be promoted over the trees？
9：14众树对荆棘说，请你来作我们的王。
Then said all the trees unto the bramble； e thou； and reign over us。
9：15荆棘回答说，你们若诚诚实实地膏我为王，就要投在我的荫下。不然，愿火从荆棘里出来，烧灭黎巴嫩的香柏树。
And the bramble said unto the trees； If in truth ye anoint me king over you； then e and put your trust in my shadow： and if not； let fire e out of the bramble； and devour the cedars of Lebanon。
9：16现在你们立亚比米勒为王，若按诚实正直善待耶路巴力和他的全家，这就是酬他的劳。
Now therefore； if ye have done truly and sincerely； in that ye have made Abimelech king； and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house； and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands；
9：17从前我父冒死为你们争战，救了你们脱离米甸人的手。
（For my father fought for you； and adventured his life far； and delivered you out of the hand of Midian：
9：18你们如今起来攻击我的父家，将他众子七十人杀在一块磐石上，又立他婢女所生的儿子亚比米勒为示剑人的王。他原是你们的弟兄。
And ye are risen up against my father's house this day； and have slain his sons； threescore and ten persons； upon one stone； and have made Abimelech； the son of his maidservant； king over the men of Shechem； because he is your brother；）
9：19你们如今若按诚实正直待耶路巴力和他的家，就可因亚比米勒得欢乐，他也可因你们得欢乐。
If ye then have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal and with his house this day； then rejoice ye in Abimelech； and let him also rejoice in you：
9：20不然，愿火从亚比米勒发出，烧灭示剑人和米罗众人，又愿火从示剑人和米罗人中出来，烧灭亚比米勒。
But if not； let fire e out from Abimelech； and devour the men of Shechem； and the house of Millo； and let fire e out from the men of Shechem； and from the house of Millo； and devo
