Contemporary English Version
Judges 9:6-8
Contemporary English Version
6 The leaders of Shechem, including the priests and the military officers,[a] met at the tree next to the sacred rock[b] in Shechem to crown Abimelech king. 7 Jotham heard what they were doing. So he climbed to the top of Mount Gerizim and shouted down to the people who were there at the meeting:
Leaders of Shechem,
listen to me,
and maybe God
will listen to you.
8 Once the trees searched
for someone to be king;
they asked the olive tree,
“Will you be our king?”
