What does the “curse” of Jotham refer to?

Judges 9:57 (ESV)

57 And God also made all the evil of the men of Shechem return on their heads, and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.

 It refers here to the words of Judges 9:20, where he basically appealed to God to annihilate Shechem and Abimelech for their evil deeds.
