Judges 9:5

⁵Pumunta siya sa bahay ng kaniyang ama sa Ofra at sa isang bato pinatay niya ang pitumpung kapatid niyang lalaki, mga anak na lalaki ni Jerub Baal. Tanging si Jotam ang naiwan, ang pinakabatang anak na lalaki ni Jerub Baal, dahil itinago niya ang kaniyang sarili.

Judges 9 narrates the tragic rise and fall of Abimelech, Gideon's son by a concubine, who ruthlessly murders his seventy brothers to seize kingship over Shechem. Jotham, the youngest brother, escapes and delivers a powerful fable about trees seeking a king, warning the people of Shechem about the destructive nature of their choice. Abimelech's tyrannical reign is marked by violence and treachery, ultimately leading to his own ignominious death at the hands of a woman, fulfilling Jotham's curse and demonstrating the bitter fruit of human ambition apart from God's appointed leadership.
