About Abimelech
Abimelech was a son of judge Gideon. His name can best be interpreted "my father is king", claiming the inherited right to rule. He is introduced in Judges 8:31 as the son of Gideon and his Shechemite concubine, and the biblical account of his reign is described in chapter nine of the Book of Judges.
