THE MESSAGE
Abimelech ruled over Israel for three years. Then God brought bad blood between Abimelech and Shechem's leaders, who now worked treacherously behind his back. Violence boomeranged: The murderous violence that killed the seventy brothers, the sons of Jerub-Baal, was now loose among Abimelech and Shechem's leaders, who had supported the violence.

New American Standard Bible (1995)
Now Abimelech ruled over Israel three years.

Contextual Overview

²²And on some, who are doubting, have mercy; ²³and for others, save, snatching them out of the fire; and on others have mercy with fear, hating even the tunic polluted by the flesh. ²⁴Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, ²⁵to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, might, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. ²⁶ Toe kom Gaäl, die seun van Ebed, met sy broers en hulle trek oor na Sigem toe; en die burgers van Sigem het op hom vertrou. ²⁷ En hulle het uitgegaan in die veld en hulle wingerde afgeoes en uitgetrap en oesfees gehou; daarop het hulle in die huis van hulle god ingegaan en geëet en gedrink en Abiméleg gevloek. ²⁸ Toe sê Gaäl, die seun van Ebed: Wie is Abiméleg--en wat is Sigem--dat ons hom sou dien? Is hy nie die seun van Jerúbbaäl, en is Sebul nie sy stadsbestuurder nie? Dien die manne van Hemor, die vader van Sigem, maar waarom moet óns hom dien? ²⁹ Ag, was hierdie volk maar in my hand, dan sou ek Abiméleg wegjaag! En met die oog op Abiméleg het hy gesê: Vermeerder maar jou leër en trek uit! ³⁰ Toe Sebul, die owerste van die stad, die woorde van Gaäl, die seun van Ebed, hoor, het hy kwaad geword ³¹ en listig boodskappers na Abiméleg gestuur om te sê: Kyk, Gaäl, die seun van Ebed, met sy broers, het in Sigem gekom, en kyk, hulle maak die stad teen u op.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel. The people in general consenting to what the men of Shechem had done, at least not opposing it, all being desirous of a king, and therefore put up with a mean person, rather than have none; though it is amazing they should, and that they had not rose up as one man against Abimelech, and avenged the blood of the sons of Gideon, who had been so useful and serviceable to them; it is indeed said that he reigned over all Israel, and his reign, such as it was, was very short, as is often the case with wicked princes.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Had reigned - Rather, “had ruled.” It is not the phrase used in Judges 9:6. It looks as if the Shechemites alone had made him king, and the rest of Israel had submitted to his dominion, without allowing his title of king.
