An ApplicationIn JDG 9:22, we see God had great patience with Abimelech, allowing him to rule for 3 years. Hard to say what's harder to believe, that Abimelech would kill his brothers or that the people would accept his method of ascent to power as legit. It's no wonder Jesus called us sheep. Praise God that He cares enough to share His word and to have come and teach us in person, even when we have mass psychosis and do dumb things as an entire society.

Connect the DotsNote, in JDG 9:6, Abimelech is made king by the men of those two towns, but there's no evidence the rest of Israel even noticed. / We'll read the conclusion to Abimelech's story, and the fulfilliment of Jotham's curse, next.
