And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem unto his mother’s brethren, and communed with them, and with all the family of the house of his mother’s father, saying,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.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.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.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.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.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.The trees went forth[ on a time] to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.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?And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou,[ and] reign over us.But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou,[ and] reign over us.And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come thou,[ and] reign over us.And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you,[ then] come[ and] put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.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;( For my father fought for you, and adventured his life far, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian: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;)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: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.

2 Samuel 15 2-2 Samuel 15 6
And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was[ so], that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city[ art] thou? And he said, Thy servant[ is] of one of the tribes of Israel.And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters[ are] good and right; but[ there is] no man[ deputed] of the king to hear thee.Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!And it was[ so], that when any man came nigh[ to him] to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
