Then God caused the people of Shechem to argue with Abimelech. God was punishing Abimelech for killing Gideon’s 70 sons. God was punishing Abimelech and the people of Shechem for their murder.
Judges 9:23-24
上帝使惡魔降在亞比米勒和示劍人中間， 示劍人就以詭詐待亞比米勒 。 這是要叫耶路‧巴力七十個兒子所受的殘害歸與他們的哥哥亞比米勒 ，又叫那流他們血的罪歸與幫助他殺弟兄的示劍人。 士師記 9:23-24
