Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem, unto his mother's brethren,.... It seems that though the mother of Abimelech lived at Shechem, he was taken and brought up in his father's house at Ophrah, where he was when he died; and from hence he came to Shechem, to pay a visit to his uncles there; whether his mother was now living, is not certain:

and communed with them; about the death of his father, the state of his family, and the government of Israel:

and with all the family of the house of his mother's father; that descended from his grandfather, the several branches of them, and of the family, the heads of them at least:

saying, as follows.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

We are not told how soon after the death of Gideon these events happened. There must have been time for the apostacy and establishment of Baal-worship, and for the development of ill-will between Abimelech and his brethren.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER IX

Abimelech is made king; and, to secure himself tn the kingdom,

slays his brethren; Jotham, the youngest only escapes, 14.

Jotham reproves him and the Shechemites by a curious and

instructive parable, 7-21.

Abimelech having reigned three years, the Shechemites, headed

by Gaal the son of Ebed, conspire against him, 22-29.

Zebul, governor of the city, apprises Abimelech of the

insurrection, who comes with his forces, and discomfits Gaal,

30-40.

Abimelech assaults the city, takes, beats it down, and sows it

with salt, 41-45.

Several of the Shechemites take refuge in the temple of

Baal-berith; Abimelech sets fire to it, and destroys in it

about one thousand men and women, 46-50.

He afterwards besieges and takes Thebez; but while he is

assaulting the citadel, a woman threw a piece of millstone

upon his head, and killed him. Thus God requited him and the

men of Shechem for their wickedness, and their ingratitude to

the family of Gideon, 51-57.

NOTES ON CHAP. IX

Verse Judges 9:1. Abimelech - went to Shechem — We have already seen that Abimelech was the son of Gideon, by his concubine at Shechem. His going thither immediately after his father's death was to induce his townsmen to proclaim him governor in the place of his father. Shechem was the residence of his mother, and of all her relatives.
