9:16a Now if you have acted faithfully and honestly in making Abimelech king,

Now then, when you made Abimelek king was it fair and sincere ⌊to my father Gideon⌋ ?
-or-
⌊Then Jotham continued,⌋ “You have made Abimelech be your king. What you did was wrong.

9:16b if you have done well by Jerubbaal and his family,

Have you done well towards him and his family?
-or-
You have not behaved well towards Gideon and his family.

9:16c and if you have done to him as he deserves—

Did you treat him as he deserved?
-or-
You did not repay him justly for what he did for you.
