Malachi 4:5Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
Judges 8:31And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he called Abimelech. Judges 9:1And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem unto his mother’s brethren, and communed with them, and with all the family of the house of his mother’s father, saying, Judges 9:3-4 And his mother’s brethren spake of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words: and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech; for they said, He is our brother. And they gave him threescore and ten pieces of silver out of the house of Baalberith, wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light persons, which followed him. Judges 9:6 And all the men of Shechem gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and went, and made Abimelech king, by the plain of the pillar that was in Shechem. Judges 9:16Now therefore, if ye have done truly and sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands; Judges 9:18-25And ye are risen up against my father’s house this day, and have slain his sons, threescore and ten persons, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother;) If ye then have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you: But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech. And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his brother. When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel, Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech: That the cruelty done to the threescore and ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, which slew them; and upon the men of Shechem, which aided him in the killing of his brethren. And the men of Shechem set liers in wait for him in the top of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them: and it was told Abimelech. Judges 9:27-29 And they went out into the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and trode the grapes, and made merry, and went into the house of their god, and did eat and drink, and cursed Abimelech. And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? is not he the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: for why should we serve him? And would to God this people were under my hand! then would I remove Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase thine army, and come out. Judges 9:31And he sent messengers unto Abimelech privily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brethren be come to Shechem; and, behold, they fortify the city against thee. Judges 9:34-35And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies. And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and Abimelech rose up, and the people that were with him, from lying in wait. Judges 9:38-42Then said Zebul unto him, Where is now thy mouth, wherewith thou saidst, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? is not this the people that thou hast despised? go out, I pray now, and fight with them. And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech. And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and many were overthrown and wounded, even unto the entering of the gate. And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: and Zebul thrust out Gaal and his brethren, that they should not dwell in Shechem. And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech. Judges 9:44-45And Abimelech, and the company that was with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and the two other companies ran upon all the people that were in the fields, and slew them. And Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and slew the people that was therein, and beat down the city, and sowed it with salt. Judges 9:47-50And it was told Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together. And Abimelech gat him up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it, and laid it on his shoulder, and said unto the people that were with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done. And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the hold, and set the hold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women. Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it. Judges 9:52-53And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it, and went hard unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire. And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone upon Abimelech’s head, and all to brake his skull. Judges 9:55-56And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man unto his place. Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren: Judges 10:1 And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim.
2 Samuel 11:21Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. (Judges 9:53)
1 Chronicles 18:16 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;
King Abimelech interacted with Isaac and Rebekah Genesis 26:1-26
Genesis 26:1 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. Genesis 26:8-11 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife. And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her. And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us. And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death. Genesis 26:16And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we. Genesis 26:26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
Several men were named Abimelech in the Scripture. The name of 5 biblical men; 4 were kings.
The 1st King Abimelech interacted with Abraham and Sarah Genesis 20-21.
Genesis 20:2-4 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man’s wife. But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation? Genesis 20:8-10 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid. Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done. And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing? Genesis 20:14-15 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife. And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee. Genesis 20:17-18So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children. For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham’s wife. Genesis 21:22And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest: Genesis 21:25-27And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away. And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing; neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day. And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant. Genesis 21:29And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves? Genesis 21:32Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
To the Church in Galatia, which were trying to go back under the LAW, Paul wrote: Galatians 3:10For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is writtenDeuteronomy 27:26, Jeremiah 11:3, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. Galatians 3:13Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: forit is writtenDeuteronomy 21:23, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: Galatians 4:22 For it is writtenGenesis 12, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. Galatians 4:27 For it is writtenIsaiah 54:1, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
And Paul reminded his “son”: 1 Timothy 5:18For thescripture saithDeuteronomy 25:1, thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
To fellow Jewish believers Paul quoted: Hebrews 10:7Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the bookit is writtenPsalm 40:7, of me,) to do thy will, O God.
Even though the Gentiles were not knowledgeable of the Jewish Scripture, Paul was and he quoted them often. To the Corinthians:
1 Corinthians 1:19For it is writtenIsaiah 29:14, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 1 Corinthians 1:31 That, according as it is writtenJeremiah 9:24, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is writtenIsaiah 64:4, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 1 Corinthians 3:19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written Job 5:13, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 1 Corinthians 9:9 For it is writtenDeuteronomy 25:4, in the law of Moses, thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? 1 Corinthians 10:7Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written Exodus 32:6, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. 1 Corinthians 14:21 In the lawit is written Isaiah 28:11-12, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:45And so it is writtenGenesis 2:7, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 2 Corinthians 4:13We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is writtenPsalm 119:10, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; 2 Corinthians 8:15As it is written Exodus 16:18, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack. 2 Corinthians 9:9 (As it is writtenPsalm 112:9, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.
Even though the Gentiles were not knowledgeable of the Jewish Scripture, Paul was and he quoted them often. To the Romans: Romans 1:17For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is writtenHabakkuk 2:4, The just shall live by faith. Romans 2:24For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is writtenLeviticus 18:22. Romans 3:4God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written Psalm 51:4, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. Romans 3:10As it is writtenPsalm 14:1-3, There is none righteous, no, not one: Romans 4:17 (As it is writtenGenesis 17:5, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Romans 8:36 As it is writtenPsalm 44:22, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Romans 9:13 As it is writtenMalachi 1:1-2, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. Romans 9:17 For the scripture saith Exodus 9:16, unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. Romans 9:33As it is writtenIsaiah 8:14, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Romans 10:11For the scripture saithIsaiah 25:16, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Romans 10:15And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written Isaiah 5:34, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! Romans 11:2God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith1 Kings 19:10,14 of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying, Romans 11:8 (According as it is written Isaiah 44:18, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. Romans 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is writtenIsaiah 59:20, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is writtenProverbs 25:21-22, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Romans 14:11 For it is writtenJeremiah 4:17, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. Romans 15:3For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written,Psalm 69:9, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. Romans 15:9And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is writtenPsalm 18:49, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name. Romans 15:21 But as it is writtenIsaiah 11:10, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.
Acts 1:20 For it is written Psalm 69:25,109:8, in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take. Acts 7:42 Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written Psalm 95:10, Amos 5:25, in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness? Acts 15:15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is writtenAmos 9:11-12, James 4:5Do ye think that the scripture saithProverbs 3:31, 14:30, 23:17, 27:4, in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 1 Peter 1:16Because it is writtenLeviticus 20:7, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
And Paul also quoted from the Scripture. Acts 23:5 Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is writtenExodus 22:28, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
The Lord Jesus many time said IT IS WRITTEN, which validates the Scripture is the word of God. Matthew 2:5And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written Genesis 4:10 by the prophet, Matthew 4:4, Luke 4:4But he answered and said, It is written,Deuteronomy 8:3Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Matthew 4:6-7And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, Psalms 91:11-12 He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is writtenDeuteronomy 6:16 again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Matthew 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written Deuteronomy 6:13, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Mark 1:2, Luke 7:27As it is writtenMalachi 3:1, in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. Mark 7:6He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written Isaiah 29:13, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Mark 9:12-13 And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is writtenPsalm 22:6, of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought. But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is writtenIsaiah 53 of him. Matthew 11:10For this is he, of whom it is written Malachi 3:1,Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. Matthew 21:13, Luke 19:46 And said unto them, It is writtenIsaiah 56:7, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. Matthew 26:24, Mark 14:21The Son of man goeth asit is written Psalm 41:9 of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. Matthew 26:31, Mark 14:27Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is writtenZechariah 13:7, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. Luke 2:23 (As it is writtenExodus 13:2, in the law of the LORD, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) Luke 3:4As it is written Isaiah 40:3, in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Luke 4:8And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is writtenDeuteronomy 6:13, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Luke 4:10For it is written Psalms 91:11-12, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: Luke 24:46And said unto them, Thus it is writtenHosea 6:1-2, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: John 6:31Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written Exodus 16:15, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. John 6:45It is writtenIsaiah 54:13, in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. John 12:14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, Zechariah 9:9 John 19:37 And again another scripture saithZechariah 12:10, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
