KJV - Judges 9:2

Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Whether is better for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, which are threescore and ten persons, reign over you, or that one reign over you? remember also that I am your bone and your flesh.

Talk to all the people of Shechem and ask them a question. Is it better for you to have the seventy sons of Jerubbaal as your rulers, or to have just one person rule over you? Also, remember that I am closely related to you, being your relative.
