Meditation
Judges: Be aware as you read this section that Jerub-Baal and Gideon are one and the same man. By now Gideon is dead and Abimelech wanted to seize power. He was the son of Gideon and0 a concubine and to his 70 brothers an outcast, not worthy to inherit. Well, the simple solution is to kill all the surviving and take over – which he did. As you come to the end of this reading you will see “what goes around comes around.”
