abimelech <GEN20 -2> And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She
[is] my
sister: and {Abimelech} king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
abimelech <GEN20 -3> But God came to {Abimelech} in a dream by
night, and said to him, Behold, thou [art but] a dead man, for
the
woman which thou hast taken; for she [is] a man's wife.
abimelech <GEN20 -4> But {Abimelech} had not come near her: and
he
said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
abimelech <GEN20 -8> Therefore {Abimelech} rose early in the
morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things
in
their ears: and the men were sore afraid.
abimelech <GEN20 -9> Then {Abimelech} called Abraham, and said
unto
him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee,
that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou
hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
abimelech <GEN20 -10> And {Abimelech} said unto Abraham, What
sawest
thou, that thou hast done this thing?
abimelech <GEN20 -14> And {Abimelech} took sheep, and oxen, and
menservants, and womenservants, and gave [them] unto Abraham, and
restored him Sarah his wife.
abimelech <GEN20 -15> And {Abimelech} said, Behold, my land [is]
before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
abimelech <GEN20 -17> So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed
{Abimelech}, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare
[children].
abimelech <GEN20 -18> For the LORD had fast closed up all the
wombs
of the house of {Abimelech}, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
abimelech <GEN21 -22> And it came to pass at that time, that
{Abimelech} and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto
Abraham, saying, God [is] with thee in all that thou doest:
abimelech <GEN21 -25> And Abraham reproved {Abimelech} because
of a
well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken
away.
abimelech <GEN21 -26> And {Abimelech} said, I wot not who hath
done
this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I [of
it],
but to day.
abimelech <GEN21 -27> And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave
them
unto {Abimelech}; and both of them made a covenant.
abimelech <GEN21 -29> And {Abimelech} said unto Abraham, What
[mean]
these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
abimelech <GEN21 -32> Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba:
then
{Abimelech} rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host,
and
they returned into the land of the Philistines.
abimelech <GEN26 -1> And there was a famine in the land, beside
the
first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto
{Abimelech} king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
abimelech <GEN26 -8> And it came to pass, when he had been there
a
long time, that {Abimelech} king of the Philistines looked out
at a
window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac [was] sporting with Rebekah
his
wife.
abimelech <GEN26 -9> And {Abimelech} called Isaac, and said,
Behold,
of a surety she [is] thy wife: and how saidst thou, She [is] my
sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for
her.
abimelech <GEN26 -10> And {Abimelech} said, What [is] this thou
hast
done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy
wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.
abimelech <GEN26 -11> And {Abimelech} charged all [his] people,
saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be
put to
death.
abimelech <GEN26 -16> And {Abimelech} said unto Isaac, Go from
us;
for thou art much mightier than we.
abimelech <GEN26 -26> Then {Abimelech} went to him from Gerar,
and
Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his
army.
abimelech <JUG8 -31> And his concubine that [was] in Shechem, she
also bare him a son, whose name he called {Abimelech}.
abimelech <JUG9 -1> And {Abimelech} the son of Jerubbaal went to
Shechem unto his mother's brethren, and communed with them, and
with
all the family of the house of his mother's father, saying,
abimelech <JUG9 -3> And his mother's brethren spake of him in the
ears of all the men of Shechem all these words: and their hearts
inclined to follow {Abimelech}; for they said, He [is] our
brother.
abimelech <JUG9 -4> And they gave him threescore and ten
[pieces] of
silver out of the house of Baalberith, wherewith {Abimelech}
hired
vain and light persons, which followed him.
abimelech <JUG9 -6> And all the men of Shechem gathered together,
and all the house of Millo, and went, and made {Abimelech} king,
by
the plain of the pillar that [was] in Shechem.
abimelech <JUG9 -16> Now therefore, if ye have done truly and
sincerely, in that ye have made {Abimelech} king, and if ye have
dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him
according to the deserving of his hands;
abimelech <JUG9 -18> And ye are risen up against my father's
house
this day, and have slain his sons, threescore and ten persons,
upon
one stone, and have made {Abimelech}, the son of his maidservant,
king over the men of Shechem, because he [is] your bro
ther;)
abimelech <JUG9 -19> If ye then have dealt truly and sincerely
with
Jerubbaal and with his house this day, [then] rejoice ye in
{Abimelech}, and let him also rejoice in you:
abimelech <JUG9 -20> But if not, let fire come out from
{Abimelech},
and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let
fire
come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo,
and
devour Abimelech.
abimelech <JUG9 -20> But if not, let fire come out from
Abimelech,
and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let
fire
come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo,
and
devour {Abimelech}.
abimelech <JUG9 -21> And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to
Beer, and dwelt there, for fear of {Abimelech} his brother.
abimelech <JUG9 -22> When {Abimelech} had reigned three years
over
Israel,
abimelech <JUG9 -23> Then God sent an evil spirit between
{Abimelech} and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt
treacherously with Abimelech:
abimelech <JUG9 -23> Then God sent an evil spirit between
Abimelech
and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt
treacherously
with {Abimelech}:
abimelech <JUG9 -24> That the cruelty [done] to the threescore
and
ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon
{Abimelech} their brother, which slew them; and upon the men of
Shechem, which aided him in the killing of his brethren.
abimelech <JUG9 -25> And the men of Shechem set liers in wait for
him in the top of the mountains, and they robbed all that came
along
that way by them: and it was told {Abimelech}.
abimelech <JUG9 -27> And they went out into the fields, and
gathered
their vineyards, and trode [the grapes], and made merry, and went
into the house of their god, and did eat and drink, and cursed
{Abimelech}.
abimelech <JUG9 -28> And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who [is]
{Abimelech}, and who [is] Shechem, that we should serve him? [is]
not [he] the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve the
men
of Hamor the father of Shechem: for why should we serve him?
abimelech <JUG9 -29> And would to God this people were under my
hand! then would I remove {Abimelech}. And he said to Abimelech,
Increase thine army, and come out.
abimelech <JUG9 -29> And would to God this people were under my
hand! then would I remove Abimelech. And he said to {Abimelech},
Increase thine army, and come out.
abimelech <JUG9 -31> And he sent messengers unto {Abimelech}
privily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brethren be
come to Shechem; and, behold, they fortify the city against thee.
abimelech <JUG9 -34> And {Abimelech} rose up, and all the people
that [were] with him, by night, and they laid wait against
Shechem
in four companies.
abimelech <JUG9 -35> And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and
stood in
the entering of the gate of the city: and {Abimelech} rose up,
and
the people that [were] with him, from lying in wait.
abimelech <JUG9 -38> Then said Zebul unto him, Where [is] now thy
mouth, wherewith thou saidst, Who [is] {Abimelech}, that we
should
serve him? [is] not this the people that thou hast despised? go
out,
I pray now, and fight with them.
abimelech <JUG9 -39> And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem,
and fought with {Abimelech}.
abimelech <JUG9 -40> And {Abimelech} chased him, and he fled
before
him, and many were overthrown [and] wounded, [even] unto the
entering of the gate.
abimelech <JUG9 -41> And {Abimelech} dwelt at Arumah: and Zebul
thrust out Gaal and his brethren, that they should not dwell in
Shechem.
abimelech <JUG9 -42> And it came to pass on the morrow, that the
people went out into the field; and they told {Abimelech}.
abimelech <JUG9 -44> And {Abimelech}, and the company that [was]
with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entering of the gate
of
the city: and the two [other] companies ran upon all [the people]
that [were] in the fields, and slew them.
abimelech <JUG9 -45> And {Abimelech} fought against the city all
that day; and he took the city, and slew the people that [was]
therein, and beat down the city, and sowed it with salt.
abimelech <JUG9 -47> And it was told {Abimelech}, that all the
men
of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.
abimelech <JUG9 -48> And Abimelech gat him up to mount Zalmon, he
and all the people that [were] with him; and {Abimelech} took an
ax
in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it,
and
laid [it] on his shoulder, and said unto the people th
at [were] with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, [and]
do as
I [have done].
abimelech <JUG9 -48> And {Abimelech} gat him up to mount Zalmon,
he
and all the people that [were] with him; and Abimelech took an
ax in
his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it, and
laid
[it] on his shoulder, and said unto the people th
at [were] with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, [and]
do as
I [have done].
abimelech <JUG9 -49> And all the people likewise cut down every
man
his bough, and followed {Abimelech}, and put [them] to the hold,
and
set the hold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower
of
Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.
abimelech <JUG9 -50> Then went {Abimelech} to Thebez, and
encamped
against Thebez, and took it.
abimelech <JUG9 -52> And {Abimelech} came unto the tower, and
fought
against it, and went hard unto the door of the tower to burn it
with
fire.
abimelech <JUG9 -55> And when the men of Israel saw that
{Abimelech}
was dead, they departed every man unto his place.
abimelech <JUG9 -56> Thus God rendered the wickedness of
{Abimelech}, which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy
brethren:
abimelech <JUG10 -1> And after {Abimelech} there arose to defend
Israel Tola the son of Puah the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar,
and
he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim.
abimelech <2SA11 -21> Who smote {Abimelech} the son of
Jerubbesheth?
did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the
wall,
that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou,
Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
abimelech <1CH18 -16> And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and
{Abimelech}
the son of Abiathar, [were] the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;
abimelech <PSA34 -1> A Psalm] of David, when he changed his
behaviour before {Abimelech}; who drove him away, and he
departed. I
will bless the LORD at all times: his praise [shall] continually
[be] in my mouth.
