Pitts EvansHOST
Let's get right to the Word of God.
Pitts EvansHOST
A few chapters ago, we dealt with a judge named Abimelech, whose mother was a concubine and Gideon was his father.
Pitts EvansHOST
In this chapter, we're going to deal with a man named Jephthah, whose mother was a prostitute.
Pitts EvansHOST
Now, just a word before I start.
SamHOST
It's milk and honey, right? And that brings the victory and crushes the enemy's head.
SamHOST
Abimelech, here's another one.
SamHOST
In the book of Judges chapter 9, he's the wicked son of Gideon who is going to murder 70 of his brothers.
SamHOST
So here you have...
SamHOST
He is going to seize the throne.
SamHOST
He schemes with the people of Shechem to fund his coup d'etat.
SamHOST
They bring out money to fund his war campaign from a temple to Baal Berith, a false god, and he becomes this king, this tyrannical king, and then he goes up against the city Where he's looking to conquer, and everybody runs up into a strong tower, right? And they're all in there as he's coming to conquer, and this woman is in the top of this strong tower, and what does she do? She takes this millstone that's used to crush grain, pushes it over the edge of this tower, and it falls down, and what does it do? It's going to crush the head of Abimelech, who then begs, oh, please, just, you know, hanging on to life in his final moments with a crushed skull.
SamHOST
And he has somebody come and slay him so that it can't be said that a woman slew him.
Larry WilsonNARRATOR
As for Lot himself, afraid to dwell even in Zoar, he fled with his two daughters to the eastern mountains and became the father of two sons, Moab and Ben-Ammi, the ancestors of two powerful nations, the Moabites and the Ammonites.
Larry WilsonNARRATOR
Shortly after this terrible judgment, Abraham left the oak of Mamre, where he had so long encamped, and journeyed in a southern direction towards Gerar, between Kadesh and Shur, at that time the principal seat of the Philistines, whose chief was known by the hereditary title of Abimelech, or Father King.
Larry WilsonNARRATOR
Under the same apprehensions which he had felt when drawing nigh to Egypt, Abraham wished that Sarah should pass for his sister and again exposed her to eminent risk.
Larry WilsonNARRATOR
But as before, the Lord mercifully intervened, and the Philistine chief restored his wife to the patriarch, together with ample presents.

Dave CurrierNARRATOR
While here he received a warning from the Almighty against going down into Egypt, and was assured of the continuance of the same blessing which his father had enjoyed.
Dave CurrierNARRATOR
Thus encouraged, he continued to dwell at Gerar, but like his father, was not always proof against temptations to distrust his Almighty protector.
Dave CurrierNARRATOR
He persuaded Rebekah to represent herself as his sister, and subjected himself to a cutting rebuke from Abimelech for this unworthy equivocation.
Dave CurrierNARRATOR
At Gerar his wealth increased exceedingly, and he made the first advance beyond the purely pastoral life.
Pitts EvansHOST
Judges chapter 10.
Pitts EvansHOST
After the time of Abimelech, a man of Issachar named Tola, son of Pua and son of Dodo, rose to save Israel.
Pitts EvansHOST
He lived in Shemar, the hill country of Ephraim.
Pitts EvansHOST
He led Israel 23 years, then he died and was buried in Shemar.
Pitts EvansHOST
Do with us whatever you think best, but please rescue us now.
Pitts EvansHOST
Then they got rid of the foreign gods among them and served the Lord, and he could bear Israel's misery no longer.
Pitts EvansHOST
So in verse 1, we read, After the time of Abimelech, a man of Issachar named Tola rose up to save Israel.
Pitts EvansHOST
So the next judge is a man named Tola.
John Dre LebowskiHOST
Praise Jesus.
John Dre LebowskiHOST
Prison ministry was awesome.
John Dre LebowskiHOST
It was awesome.
John Dre LebowskiHOST
That's what I was hoping to share with everyone before.
speaker_6VOICE_ACTOR
Please!
speaker_5VOICE_ACTOR
I am Abimelech and I am in charge now.
speaker_5VOICE_ACTOR
You're not a judge unless the Lord says you're a judge, matey.
speaker_5VOICE_ACTOR
Arrgh, me hearties! Arrgh! Ah, this is terrible! Terrible because you're dying, master? No! Terrible because everyone will know that I was killed by a woman! Oh.

Nathanael BallewHOST
It's great.
Nathanael BallewHOST
I recommend it.
Sarah AugerHOST
One of my favourite bits in the video that we saw, Jackie, who is here this morning, who wonderfully played a woman killing Joe Sherman in the middle of the video.
Sarah AugerHOST
What was that about? Because they talked about the fact that the judge that Jackie dropped the brick on the head of was a false judge.
Michoel SorotzkinHOST
He made the words that we speak tonight here should be leil u'nishmatzu l'zichroy.
Michoel SorotzkinHOST
We're gonna start tonight, perek yud.[clears throat] "Vayakom acharei Avimelech lehotshia et Yisroel, Tola ben Puah ben Doadoy, ish Yisochor, vehu yoshev beShomer be'er efraim." [background noise] "Vehu yoshev be, be, beShomer be'er efraim, vayishpot et Yisroel esrim ve shlohei shanah, vayomos, vayikaber beShomer." Rashi learns that the shofet after Avimelech [paper rustles] was Tola ben Puah and the word ben Doadoy means that was his name.
Michoel SorotzkinHOST
It wasn't his cousin, but it was his name, ben Doadoy.
Michoel SorotzkinHOST
That's what he states in Rashi.
Michoel SorotzkinHOST
The Radak brings down the miketz muschores, is it says, "Ba'ach avue," which means that he was a cousin of Avimelech, not ben Doadoy.
Michoel SorotzkinHOST
The question is, Avimelech was mishbety Menashe, we know that.
Michoel SorotzkinHOST
He was a son of Gidron ben Yohash, achi Ezri mishbety Menashe.
Michoel SorotzkinHOST
Here it says that he was Ish Yisochor.
Pitts EvansHOST
He had seventy sons of his own, for he had many wives.
Pitts EvansHOST
His concubine, who lived in Shechem, also bore him a son, whom he named Abimelech.
Pitts EvansHOST
Gideon, son of Joash, died at a good old age and was buried in the tomb of his father, Joash, in Ophrah of the Abizites.
Pitts EvansHOST
No sooner had Gideon died than the Israelites again prostituted themselves to the Baals.
Pitts EvansHOST
But this chapter is not over yet.
Pitts EvansHOST
And so in verse 30 we read, Gideon had 70 sons because he had many wives.
Pitts EvansHOST
He also had a concubine who lived in Shechem, and she bore him a son whom he named Abimelech.
Pitts EvansHOST
Now this Abimelech is going to become important in the next chapter.
Michael PaganoHOST
Ready for this, JD? Gideon has 70 sons through his many wives.
Michael PaganoHOST
He also has a son named Abimelech.
Michael PaganoHOST
And that's through his concubine.
Michael PaganoHOST
The name Abimelech means my father is king.
Michael PaganoHOST
So he denies kingship.
Michael PaganoHOST
He says, no, no, no, God's king.
Michael PaganoHOST
Go ahead.
JDHOST
Yeah.
Augustine KewuGUEST
I never understood why I was reading, but I'm reading this Bible.
Augustine KewuGUEST
I stopped to the story where Isaac went down to the land of the Philistines doing the farming, and he and Abimelech, they make a covenant.
Augustine KewuGUEST
Now, when I reached at this story in the Bible and I started to read the story in this Bible, I started to get a migraine headache first.
Augustine KewuGUEST
That's how first it started of like sleep.
