God delivers Israel to the Kingdom of Moab for 18 years of Moabite rule When God decides to repent, he has the Israeli warrior Ehud rise up and slaughter all of Moab‟s 10,000 men to liberate Israel 80 years later, Ehud dies and Israel becomes evil again. God then „sells‟ (?) them to the Canaanites as punishment 20 years later, God forgives Israel and decides to liberate them. On God‟s orders, Gideon‟s mother Jael tricks the Canaanite General Sisera to sleep in her tent, whereby she hammers a stake through his skull and thus liberates Israel Israel shortly goes bad again. As punishment, God delivers Israel to the Midianites to be ruled by them. 7 years later, God feels merciful again. God sends an angel to recruit Gideon to kill the Midianites and liberate Israel. Gideon correctly points out that their misfortune under the Midianites is God‟s fault, not the Midianites‟ – but Gideon agrees to kill them anyway Gideon practices religious intolerance and provokes war by tearing down the Midianites‟ altar to Baal and replacing it with his own Gideon & 300 men slaughter all the Midianite men (120,000) who had gathered to seek vengeance against Gideon‟s actions Gideon‟s army hunts down & kills another 15,000 fleeing Midianites Gideon slaughters two neutral cities for denying food to his army Gideon takes his place as ruler of Israel and makes two golden idols of himself for all Israel to worship After Gideon‟s death, one of Gideon‟s 70 children, Abimelech, slaughters all of his siblings and proclaims himself ruler of Israel Abimelech ambushes & kills those banished from his home city; then he turns & slaughters the rest of the city townsfolk Abimelech rounds up the remaining 1,000 prisoners and burns them alive in the town tower
