Judges 9:5
_ _ went unto ... Ophrah, and slew his brethren i.e., upon one stone — This is the first mention of a barbarous atrocity which has, with appalling frequency, been perpetrated in the despotic countries of the East — that of one son of the deceased monarch usurping the throne and hastening to confirm himself in the possession by the massacre of all the natural or legitimate competitors. Abimelech slew his brethren on one stone, either by dashing them from one rock, or sacrificing them on one stone altar, in revenge for the demolition of Baal’s altar by their father. This latter view is the more probable, from the Shechemites (Judges 9:24) aiding in it.
_ _ threescore and ten persons — A round number is used, but it is evident that two are wanting to complete that number. |
Judges 9:5
His brethren — The only persons who were likely to hinder him in establishing his tyranny. Threescore and ten — Wanting one, who is here expressed. Jotham was left — Whereby he would signify, that this was an act of justice, in cutting them all off in an orderly manner, for some supposed crime, probably, as designing sedition and rebellion. |
Judges 9:5
And he went unto his father's house at Ophrah, and (c) 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.
(c) Thus tyrants to establish their usurped power, spare not the innocent blood, (2 Kings 10:7; 2 Chronicles 21:4). |
- at Ophrah:
Judges 6:24 Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovahshalom: unto this day it [is] yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

- slew:
2 Kings 10:17 And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the saying of the LORD, which he spake to Elijah.
2 Kings 11:1-2 And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal. ... But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons [which were] slain; and they hid him, [even] him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.
