Jotham

And they gave him 70 pieces of silver out of the house of Bela Bereth, with which Abimelech hired worthless and reckless fellows who followed him." And he went to his father's house at Orpha, and killed his brothers, the sons of Jerubal, seventy men on one stone.

But Jotham, the youngest of Jerubal, was left, for he hid himself.

And all the leaders of Shechem came together, and all Bethmelo, and they went and made Abimelech king by the oak of the pillar at Shechem.

by the oak of the pillar at Shechem.

He went to his father's home at Ophrah, and there on one stone, they killed all 70 of his half-brothers, the sons of Gideon.

But the younger brother, Jotham, escaped.

And hid.

God knows things we don't.

Jotham escapes, hears that his 69 half-brothers have been killed on a stone, and comes back and gives a parable.
