Abimelech was Gideon’s son he had with a lady from Canaan. He wanted to be king so badly, that he went to his mother’s people to rally support for a position that was reserved for those God appointed. To ensure he had no competition, he killed 69 of his step brothers! Only Jotham managed to flee. May we not be so consumed by our agenda that we totally ignore God. Judges 9:1-21.
