NASB
"Now Abimelech ruled over Israel three years."
— Judges 9:22, NASB
“When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel,”
“And Abimelech was prince over Israel three years. ”
“Abimelech was prince over Israel three years.”
“God Fulfills Jotham’s Curse Abimelech commanded Israel for three years.”
“So Abimelech reigned over Israel three years.”
“So Abimelech was chief over Israel for three years.”
“When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel,”
if then you have dealt in truth and integrity with Jerubbaal and his house this day, rejoice in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you.
"But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech and consume the men of Shechem and Beth-millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem and from Beth-millo, and consume Abimelech."
Then Jotham escaped and fled, and went to Beer and remained there because of Abimelech his brother.
Now Abimelech ruled over Israel three years.
Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech,
so that the violence done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood might be laid on Abimelech their brother, who killed them, and on the men of Shechem, who strengthened his hands to kill his brothers.
The men of Shechem set men in ambush against him on the tops of the mountains, and they robbed all who might pass by them along the road; and it was told to Abimelech.
