Judges 9:8 BBE

⁶  And all the townsmen of Shechem and all Beth-millo came together and went and made Abimelech their king, by the oak of the pillar in Shechem.

⁷  Now Jotham, on hearing of it, went to the top of Mount Gerizim, and crying out with a loud voice said to them, Give ear to me, you townsmen of Shechem, so that God may give ear to you.

⁸  One day the trees went out to make a king for themselves; and they said to the olive-tree, Be king over us.

⁹  But the olive-tree said to them, Am I to give up my wealth of oil, by which men give honour to God, and go waving over the trees?

¹⁰  Then the trees said to the fig-tree, You come and be king over us.
