Judges 8 - 9
JudgesSteve Gregg
In Judges 8-9, Gideon ends his pursuit and encounters the tribe of Ephraim who had not yet joined the battle. Gideon's ungrateful people forget his leadership quickly and soon there is no accountability. Abimelech, son of Jeruvah, made himself king and caused chaos through robbery and oppression. However, he met his fate when a woman dropped a millstone that crushed his skull. This story reinforces the importance of avoiding the pursuit of power and the consequences that come with it.
