And ye are risen up against my father’s house this day, and have slain his sons, threescore and ten persons, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother;)

Today, you have rebelled against my father's family. You killed 70 people from his clan in one attack. Then, you made Abimelech, who is your relative, the ruler of the men in a place called Shechem.
