And if you remember the name Abimelech means; “my father is king.”
Now Gideon was asked to be the king of Israel…but he turned it down…but he liked living the lifestyle of a king.
His son however…wanted to be king!
Notice he want raised up to be a judge…and God did not support him as king…although he is the first king of Israel…
But God never recognizes his as king…and if God doesn’t recognize it…than he is king in name only.
So, why is he even mentioned in the Book of Judges?
Remember that the Old Testament is written for our benefit…there are many lessons to be learned from reading and studying it…
And one of those lessons is found here in the rise and fall of Abimelech…and that lesson is that we reap what we sow.
