Gideon's victory (Judges ch.7) made his son Abimelech too proud, and he set out on a violent way of ensuring power for himself (Judges ch.9). See also:More about the Judges
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.
