Judges Week 5: A King Fit for Israel – Judges 9

Four takeaway truths we glean from this passage about Abimelech:

1. Abimelech’s dark chapter in Israel’s history harbors this lovely truth about God: that he is loyal to his own beyond death.

2. Abimelech’s story illustrates how deeply God cares about the unity of his people.

3. Abimelech’s life warns us of the internal danger of sin.

4. Abimelech prepares us for the incomparable Jesus.
