This Bible study looks at Abimelech in Judges 9. His rise to power was not due to God’s response to an oppressed people, but purely self-seeking arrogance. He murdered his own brothers to seize and hold his position, but was brought down when his subjects turned on him. Abimelech’s reign is short and violent; it is dark and a cautionary tale for all who would follow his path.
