This OET (very) Literal Version was designed to be used as a view into the original language words, so as to be an aid to understanding the source text for the Readers’ Version, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

9 And_ ʼAⱱīmelek the_son_of Jerub-Baˊal _he/it_went to_Shəkem to the_brothers_of his/its_mother and_he/it_spoke to_them and_near/to all_of the_clan_of the_house_of the_father_of his/its_mother to_say.
2 Speak please in_the_ears_of all_of the_citizens_of Shəkem what is_good to/for_you(pl) to_rule over_you(pl) seventy man all_of the_sons_of Jerub-Baˊal or to_rule over_you(pl) a_man one and_you(pl)_will_remember if/because_that bone_of_am_your(pl)[fn][fn][fn][fn] and_flesh_of_your(pl) I.
[fn]
3 And_ the_brothers_of his/its_mother _they_spoke on/upon/above_him/it in_the_ears_of all_of the_citizens_of Shəkem DOM all_of the_words/messages the_these and_ heart_of_their _it_turned_aside after ʼAⱱīmelek if/because they_said brother_of_is_our he.
4 And_they_gave to_him/it seventy silver from_the_house_of[fn][fn][fn] of_Baˊal-[fn][fn][fn] Berith and_he_hired (is)_in_them ʼAⱱīmelek men worthless and_undisciplined and_they_went after_him.
5 And_he_went the_house_of his/its_father to_ˊOfrāh and_he_killed DOM brothers_of_his the_sons_of Jerub-Baˊal seventy[fn][fn][fn] man on stone one and_ Yōtām/(Jotham) the_son_of Jerub-Baˊal the_small(sg) _he_was_left if/because he_hid_himself.
6 And_ all_of the_citizens_of Shəkem and_all Bēyt Millōʼ _they_gathered and_they_went and_they_made_king DOM ʼAⱱīmelek to_king near the_great_tree_of which_had_been_set_up which was_in_Shəkem.
7 And_people_told to_Yōtām and_he/it_went and_he_stood on_the_top_of the_mountain_of Gərizīm and_he_lifted_up voice_of_his and_he/it_called and_he/it_said to/for_them listen to_me Oh_citizens_of Shəkem so_that_he_may_listen to_you(pl) god.
8 Indeed_(go) the_trees they_went to_anoint over_them a_king and_they_said to_tree mmm[fn] over_us.
9 And_he/it_said to/for_them the_olive_tree will_I_cease DOM fatness_of_my which by_me people_honour gods and_men and_will_I_go to_sway over the_trees.
10 And_ the_trees _they_said to_tree you come reign over_us.
11 And_she/it_said to/for_them the_fig_tree will_I_cease DOM sweetness_of_my and_DOM fruit_of_my (the)_good and_will_I_go to_sway over the_trees.
12 And_ the_trees _they_said to_vine you come reign[fn] over_us.
13 And_she/it_said to/for_them the_vine will_I_cease DOM wine_of_my_new which_makes_glad gods and_men and_will_I_go to_sway over the_trees.
14 And_ all_of the_trees _they_said to the_thorn_bush you come reign over_us.
15 And_ the_thorn_bush _he/it_said to the_trees if in_truth you(pl) are_anointing DOM_me to_king over_you(pl) come take_refuge in_shade_of_my and_if not a_fire let_it_go_out from the_thorn_bush and_let_it_consume DOM the_cedars_of (the)_Ləⱱānōn.
16 And_now if in_faithfulness and_in_integrity you(pl)_have_acted and_you(pl)_have_made_king DOM ʼAⱱīmelek and_if good you(pl)_have_done with Jerub-Baˊal and_with house_of_his and_if according_to_the_dealing_of his_hands_of_his you(pl)_have_done to_him/it.
17 That father_of_my he_fought on_you(pl) and_he_threw DOM life_of_his from_in_front and_he_delivered you(pl) from_the_hand_of Midyān.
18 And_you(pl) you(pl)_have_risen_up on the_house_of my_father_of_my the_day and_you(pl)_have_killed DOM sons_of_his seventy man on stone one and_you(pl)_have_made_king DOM ʼAⱱīmelek the_son_of his_female_slave_of_his over the_citizens_of Shəkem if/because brother_of_is_your(pl) he.
19 And_if in_faithfulness and_in_integrity you(pl)_have_acted with Jerub-Baˊal and_with house_of_his the_day the_this rejoice in_ʼAⱱīmelek and_ also he _let_him_rejoice in_you(pl).
20 And_if not a_fire let_it_go_out from_ʼAⱱīmelek and_let_it_consume DOM the_citizens_of Shəkem and_DOM Bēyt Millōʼ and_ a_fire _let_it_go_out from_the_citizens_of Shəkem and_from_household millo and_let_it_consume DOM ʼAⱱīmelek.
21 And_ Yōtām/(Jotham) _he_fled and_he_ran_away and_he/it_went to_Bəʼēr and_he/it_sat_down//remained//lived there from_face/in_front_of ʼAⱱīmelek his/its_brother.
22 And_ ʼAⱱīmelek _he_ruled over Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) three years.
23 And_ god _he_sent a_spirit evil between ʼAⱱīmelek and_between the_citizens_of Shəkem and_ the_citizens_of Shəkem _they_dealt_treacherously with_ʼAⱱīmelek.
24 To_ the_violence_of seventy the_sons_of Jerub-Baˊal _come and_blood_of_their to_put on ʼAⱱīmelek brother_of_their who he_killed them and_on the_citizens_of Shəkem who they_strengthened DOM hands_of_his to_kill DOM brothers_of_his.
25 And_they_set to_him/it the_citizens_of Shəkem ambushers on the_tops_of the_mountains and_they_robbed DOM every_of one_who he_passed_by on_them on_road and_it_was_told to_ʼAⱱīmelek.
26 And_ Gaˊal the_son_of ˊEⱱed and_brothers_of_his _he_came and_they_passed_on in_Shəkem and_they_trusted in_him/it the_citizens_of Shəkem.
27 And_they_went_out the_field and_they_gathered_grapes DOM vineyards_of_their and_they_trod_them and_they_made rejoicings and_they_came the_house_of their_god_of_their and_they_ate and_they_drank and_they_cursed DOM ʼAⱱīmelek.
28 And_he/it_said Gaˊal the_son_of ˊEⱱed who is_ʼAⱱīmelek and_who is_Shəkem that/for/because/then/when we_will_serve_him not is_he_the_son_of Jerub-Baˊal and_is_Zəⱱul deputy_of_his serve DOM the_men_of Ḩₐmōr the_father_of Shəkem and_why will_we_serve_him we.
29 And_who will_he_give DOM the_people the_this in_hand_of_my and_I_will_remove DOM ʼAⱱīmelek and_he/it_said of_ʼAⱱīmelek make_numerous army_of_your and_come_out.
30 And_ Zəⱱul the_official_of the_city _he/it_listened DOM the_words/messages_of Gaˊal the_son_of ˊEⱱed and_ anger_of_his _it_glowed/burnt.
31 And_he_sent messengers to ʼAⱱīmelek in_treachery to_say HERE Gaˊal the_son_of ˊEⱱed and_brothers_of_his are_coming to_Shəkem and_HERE_they are_shutting_up DOM the_city on_you.
32 And_now arise night you and_the_people which is_with_you and_lie_in_wait in_field.
33 And_it_was in_morning just_ the_sun _as_rises you_will_rise_early and_you_will_make_a_raid on the_city and_BEHOLD/LO/SEE he and_the_people which with_him/it are_going_out against_you and_you_will_do for_him/it just_as hand_of_your it_will_find.

38 And_he/it_said to_him/it Zəⱱul where then mouth_of_is_your Oh_you_who you_said who is_ʼAⱱīmelek that/for/because/then/when we_will_serve_him not is_this the_people which you_rejected in/on/over_him/it go_out please now and_fight in/on/over_him/it.
39 And_ Gaˊal _he/it_went_out to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before the_citizens_of Shəkem and_he_fought against_ʼAⱱīmelek.
40 And_he_pursued_him ʼAⱱīmelek and_he_fled from_before_of_him and_ those_fatally_wounded many _they_fell to the_entrance_of the_gate.
41 And_ ʼAⱱīmelek _he/it_sat_down//remained//lived at_(the)_Arumah and_ Zəⱱul _he/it_drove_out DOM Gaˊal and_DOM brothers_of_his from_dwelling at_Shəkem.
