Read Judges 9.1-6. In 9.1-6: Abimelech seizes royal power. In verses 1-3: Abimelech's mother belonged to a clan of Shechem (8.31). In verse 5: On one stone may indicate a parody of sacrifice (1 Sam 14.33-34), but clearly communicates that the killing was deliberate and cold-blooded. In verse 6: Beth-millo indicates a building (literally "house on Filled-Up Ground"), but here must refer to a group on Shechem's system of government (v. 20 compare "white House").
