• Newari: “Then Jotham said — Look now! By making Abimelech king, What! Have you really done the right thing? What! Have you dealt justly [lit.: correctly] with Jerub-baal and his family? And have you dealt with him as you ought to have done?” (Source: Newari Back Translation)

• English: “‘After Jotham finished telling them this parable, he said, ‘So now I ask you, were you being completely honest and sincere when you appointed Abimelech to be your king ?
