Episode 78 - King Abimelech: Israel’s First King, a story that is told in Judges 9 :PART 1

Episode Summary

This episode features one of the strongest statements anywhere in the Bible about the power that undergirds politics. No wonder! Abimelech’s elevation to the throne was based on his ability to murder 70 siblings. Only one survived this massacre, Jotham, who is responsible for the anti-politics diatribe when he tells the Parable of the Trees.
