Judges 9:41Abimelech stayed in Arumah, and Zebul drove Gaal and his brothers out of Shechem.Judges 9:42The next day the people of Shechem went out into the fields, and this was reported to Abimelech.Judges 9:43So he took his men, divided them into three companies, and lay in wait in the fields. When he saw the people coming out of the city, he rose up against them and attacked them.Judges 9:44Then Abimelech and the companies with him rushed forward and took their stand at the entrance of the city gate. The other two companies rushed against all who were in the fields and struck them down.Judges 9:45And all that day Abimelech fought against the city until he had captured it and killed its people. Then he demolished the city and sowed it with salt.Judges 9:46On hearing of this, all the leaders in the tower of Shechem entered the inner chamber of the temple of El-berith.Judges 9:47And when Abimelech was told that all the leaders in the tower of Shechem were gathered there,Judges 9:48he and all his men went up to Mount Zalmon. Abimelech took his axe in his hand and cut a branch from the trees, which he lifted to his shoulder, saying to his men, “Hurry and do what you have seen me do.”Judges 9:49So each man also cut his own branch and followed Abimelech. Then they piled the branches against the inner chamber and set it on fire above them, killing everyone in the tower of Shechem, about a thousand men and women.Judges 9:50Then Abimelech went to Thebez, encamped against it, and captured it.Judges 9:51But there was a strong tower inside the city, and all the men, women, and leaders of the city fled there. They locked themselves in and went up to the roof of the tower.Judges 9:52When Abimelech came to attack the tower, he approached its entrance to set it on fire.Judges 9:53But a woman dropped an upper millstone on Abimelech’s head, crushing his skull.Judges 9:54He quickly called his armor-bearer, saying, “Draw your sword and kill me, lest they say of me, ‘A woman killed him.’” So Abimelech’s armor-bearer ran his sword through him, and he died.Judges 10:1After the time of Abimelech, a man of Issachar, Tola son of Puah, the son of Dodo, rose up to save Israel. He lived in Shamir, in the hill country of Ephraim.Judges 10:2Tola judged Israel twenty-three years, and when he died, he was buried in Shamir.Judges 10:3Tola was followed by Jair the Gileadite, who judged Israel twenty-two years.Judges 10:4He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys. And they had thirty towns in the land of Gilead, which to this day are called Havvoth-jair.Judges 10:5When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon.Judges 12:1Then the men of Ephraim assembled and crossed the Jordan to Zaphon. They said to Jephthah, “Why have you crossed over to fight the Ammonites without calling us to go with you? We will burn your house down with you inside!”Judges 12:2But Jephthah replied, “My people and I had a serious conflict with the Ammonites, and when I called, you did not save me out of their hands.Judges 12:3When I saw that you would not save me, I risked my life and crossed over to the Ammonites, and the LORD delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come today to fight against me?”Judges 12:4Jephthah then gathered all the men of Gilead and fought against Ephraim. And the men of Gilead struck them down because the Ephraimites had said, “You Gileadites are fugitives in Ephraim, living in the territories of Ephraim and Manasseh.”Judges 12:5The Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan leading to Ephraim, and whenever a fugitive from Ephraim would say, “Let me cross over,” the Gileadites would ask him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he answered, “No,”Judges 12:6they told him, “Please say Shibboleth.” If he said, “Sibboleth,” because he could not pronounce it correctly, they seized him and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. So at that time 42,000 Ephraimites were killed.Judges 12:7Jephthah judged Israel six years, and when he died, he was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.Judges 12:8After Jephthah, Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.Judges 12:9He had thirty sons, as well as thirty daughters whom he gave in marriage to men outside his clan; and for his sons he brought back thirty wives from elsewhere. Ibzan judged Israel seven years.Judges 12:10Then Ibzan died, and he was buried in Bethlehem.Judges 12:11After Ibzan, Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel ten years.Judges 12:12Then Elon the Zebulunite died, and he was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.Judges 12:13After Elon, Abdon son of Hillel, from Pirathon, judged Israel.Judges 12:14He had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode on seventy donkeys. And he judged Israel eight years.1 Samuel 2:12Now the sons of Eli were wicked men; they had no regard for the LORD1 Samuel 2:13or for the custom of the priests with the people. When any man offered a sacrifice, the servant of the priest would come with a three-pronged meat fork while the meat was boiling1 Samuel 2:14and plunge it into the pan or kettle or cauldron or cooking pot. And the priest would claim for himself whatever the meat fork brought up. This is how they treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh.1 Samuel 2:15Even before the fat was burned, the servant of the priest would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, “Give the priest some meat to roast, because he will not accept boiled meat from you, but only raw.”1 Samuel 2:16And if any man said to him, “The fat must be burned first; then you may take whatever you want,” the servant would reply, “No, you must give it to me right now. If you refuse, I will take it by force!”1 Samuel 2:17Thus the sin of these young men was severe in the sight of the LORD, for they were treating the LORD’s offering with contempt.1 Samuel 2:22Now Eli was very old, and he heard about everything his sons were doing to all Israel and how they were sleeping with the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.1 Samuel 2:23“Why are you doing these things?” Eli said to his sons. “I hear about your wicked deeds from all these people.1 Samuel 2:24No, my sons; it is not a good report I hear circulating among the LORD’s people.1 Samuel 2:25If a man sins against another man, God can intercede for him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who can intercede for him?” But they would not listen to their father, since the LORD intended to put them to death.1 Samuel 4:18As soon as the ark of God was mentioned, Eli fell backward from his chair by the city gate, and being old and heavy, he broke his neck and died. And Eli had judged Israel forty years.1 Samuel 7:6When they had gathered at Mizpah, they drew water and poured it out before the LORD. On that day they fasted, and there they confessed, “We have sinned against the LORD.” And Samuel judged the Israelites at Mizpah.1 Samuel 7:15So Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.1 Samuel 7:16Every year he would go on a circuit from Bethel to Gilgal to Mizpah, judging Israel in all these places.1 Samuel 7:17Then he would return to Ramah because his home was there, and there he judged Israel and built an altar to the LORD.1 Samuel 8:1When Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons as judges over Israel.1 Samuel 8:2The name of his firstborn son was Joel, and the name of his second was Abijah. They were judges in Beersheba.1 Samuel 8:3But his sons did not walk in his ways; they turned aside toward dishonest gain, accepting bribes and perverting justice.1 Samuel 8:4So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah.1 Samuel 8:5“Look,” they said, “you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint a king to judge us like all the other nations.”2 Samuel 8:15Thus David reigned over all Israel and administered justice and righteousness for all his people:2 Samuel 15:2He would get up early and stand beside the road leading to the city gate. Whenever anyone had a grievance to bring before the king for a decision, Absalom would call out and ask, “What city are you from?” And if he replied, “Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel,”1 Kings 3:9Therefore give Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people and to discern between good and evil. For who is able to govern this great people of Yours?”1 Kings 3:16At that time two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him.1 Kings 3:17One woman said, “Please, my lord, this woman and I live in the same house, and I gave birth while she was in the house.1 Kings 3:18On the third day after I gave birth, this woman also had a baby. We were alone, with no one in the house but the two of us.1 Kings 3:19During the night this woman’s son died because she rolled over on him.
