Jotham Jg 9:20 But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech.
Another answerYes. In Judges 9:23 " Then God sent an evil spiritbetween Abimelech and the men of Shecem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech".
Judges:9:3-6:3: 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.4: And they gave him threescore and ten pieces of silver out of the house of Baal-berith, wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light persons, which followed him.5: 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.6: 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.
Judges chapter 9 describes how Abimelech became the first king of Israel. Judges 9:22, "When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel ..." Although the remainder of Judges then ignores Abimelech, focussing on Saul as the first king, there is reason to believe that Abimelech was a real historical person. The king of Israel immediately before Solomon was David. The first king of Israel was King Saul. Abimelech never was the true king of Israel and is not accepted as such due to the fact that he appointed himself to the position and ruled by force. He also failed in almost all of the requirements that were required for an Israelite king. Only Shechem recognized him as their king, hence is called the King of Shechem rather than the king of Israel, although he saw himself as the latter.
Abimelech - oratorio - was created in 1768.
Abimelech means 'my father is king' in Hebrew.
