Episode 79 - Part 2 the King Abimelech story as narrated in Judges 9
Episode Summary
The second part features God fostering discord between the people of Shechem and King Abimelech, even though they first supported his rise to power. Though he wins in an initial skirmish, even burning down the city and the tower in which the remaining citizens were hiding, in the end King Abimelech was killed when he attacked another city, Thebez. This time his fate when an unnamed woman threw a millstone at his head, a stone that evokes the “one stone” on which he had originally killed 70 of this half-siblings. Abimelech’s ruthless use of power ultimately sealed his own fate.
