“And all the men of Shechem gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and went, and made Abimelech king, by the plain of the pillar that was in Shechem.”
And all the men of Shechem gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and went, and made Abimelech king, by the plain of the pillar that was in Shechem — Shechem and the house of Millo (מִלּוֹא, Millo, the 'fullness,' a fortified structure) proclaim Abimelech king at a sacred site. The perversion is complete: a covenant site becomes the coronation of an anti-king.
