Oh, Yes, It's Ladies' Might

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. But there was a strong tower within the city, and thither fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut it to them, and gat them up to the top of the tower. And 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. Then he called hastily unto the young man his armour-bearer, and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men say not of me, A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.-Judges 9:48-54***Gideon was an Israelite descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and his 2nd wife Rachel, Joseph and Asenath, Joseph and Asenath's firstborn son Manasseh, whom Jacob proclaimed to be his own son, and Manasseh's great-grandson Abiezer. Abimelech was born to Gideon (Jerubbaal) and a concubine. The concubine, a woman from Shechem, was not an Israelite. Over 200 years after Joshua led his fellow Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the Promised Land, the Midianites, the descendants of Abraham and his 2nd wife Keturah, and Abraham and Keturah's son Midian, were causing destruction among the Israelites and their land. Gideon led the Israelites to victory after receiving assurance from the Lord God that was visibly affirmed through the use of a fleece. After Gideon died, Abimelech went to his mother's kinsfolk in Shechem and convinced them to support his quest for kingship. The Shechemites agreed with Abimelech's plan and gave him silver. Afterwards, Abimelech killed his half brothers, the sons born within Gideon's marriages. Jotham, the youngest half brother, escaped. Several years thereafter, the Lord God caused a rift between Abimelech and the people of Shechem, and the Shechemites began following Gaal, a newcomer. Abimelech and the men with him began defeating Gaal and his followers and completely destroyed their city and covered the city with salt. In Thebez, the Shechemites fled to a tower, climbed to its roof, and a woman dropped a heavy stone object on Abimelech's head. Over 1,000 years after Tola became the next judge to lead the Israelites, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah, the 4th son born to Jacob and his 1st wife Leah, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 26:28-34, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 17:1-18, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 7:14-29, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
