Judges 9:23

The Downfall Of Shechem And Abimelech

²² Abimelech dominated Israel for three years. ²³ Then God sent an evil spirit to divide Abimelech and the "lords" of Shechem ²⁴ so that the violence committed against the 70 sons of Jerubbaal might come back on their brother Abimelech, who murdered them, and so it might come back on the "lords" of Shechem, who provoked him to murder his brothers.
