See the discussion of this statement in the General Notes to this chapter. The word spirit could refer to: (1) the attitude that Abimelek and the lords of Shechem had towards one another. Alternate translation: [Then God caused hostility between Abimelek and the lords of Shechem] (2) a spiritual being. Alternate translation: [Then God sent a spiritual being that caused Abimelek and the lords of Shechem to fight with each other]

The author is introducing a new event in the story. The ULT indicates this with the word Then. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.
9:1-57 The reign of Abimelech was the turning point between the comparative rest of the early period of judges (3:7–8:35) and the decline of the later years (10:1–16:31).
