Judges 9:19-20, 57

Judges 9:19-20 NLT

“If you have acted honorably and in good faith toward Gideon and his descendants today, then may you find joy in Abimelech, and may he find joy in you. But if you have not acted in good faith, then may fire come out from Abimelech and devour the leading citizens of Shechem and Beth-millo; and may fire come out from the citizens of Shechem and Beth-millo and devour Abimelech!”

Judges 9:57 NLT

God also punished the men of Shechem for all their evil. So the curse of Jotham son of Gideon was fulfilled.
