  • 1 Cor 1:10-13 : 10 Now I plead with you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you. 12 Now I say this, that every one of you says, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

  • Judg 9:23-57 : 23 Then God sent a harmful spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem, and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech, 24 So that the violence done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might be avenged, and their blood be upon Abimelech their brother who killed them, and upon the men of Shechem who aided him in the killing of his brothers. 25 And the men of Shechem set ambushes against him on the tops of the mountains, and they robbed all who passed by them along that way; and it was told to Abimelech. 26 And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his relatives and went over to Shechem; and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him. 27 And they went out into the fields, gathered their vineyards, trampled the grapes, and made merry, and went into the house of their god, and ate and drank, and cursed Abimelech. 28 And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? Isn’t he the son of Jerubbaal? And isn’t Zebul his officer? Serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem! Why should we serve him? 29 If only this people were under my command! Then I would remove Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase your army and come out! 30 And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled. 31 And he sent messengers to Abimelech secretly, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his relatives have come to Shechem—and behold, they are fortifying the city against you. 32 Now therefore arise by night, you and the people with you, and lie in wait in the field. 33 And it shall be that in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, you shall rise early and set upon the city; and behold, when he and the people that are with him come out against you, you may do to them as you find opportunity. 34 And Abimelech rose up, and all the people with him, by night, and they lay in wait against Shechem in four companies. 35 And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood at the entrance of the city gate, and Abimelech rose up, and the people with him, from lying in wait. 36 And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold, people are coming down from the tops of the mountains. And Zebul said to him, You see the shadows of the mountains as if they were men. 37 And Gaal spoke again and said, See, people are coming down by the middle of the land, and another company is coming along the plain of Meonenim. 38 Then Zebul said to him, Where is your mouth now, with which you said, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? Are not these the people you despised? Go out now, I pray, and fight with them. 39 And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem and fought with Abimelech. 40 And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and many were overthrown and wounded, even to the entrance of the gate. 41 And Abimelech stayed at Arumah, and Zebul drove out Gaal and his relatives, so that they should not dwell in Shechem. 42 And it happened the next day, that the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech. 43 And he took the people, divided them into three companies, and lay in wait in the field, and looked, and behold, the people were coming out of the city; and he rose against them and struck them down. 44 And Abimelech, and the company with him, rushed forward, and stood at the entrance of the gate of the city; and the two other companies ran upon all the people who were in the fields and struck them down. 45 And Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, killed the people who were in it, and tore down the city, and sowed it with salt. 46 And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard that, they entered the stronghold of the house of the god Berith. 47 And it was told to Abimelech that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together. 48 And Abimelech went up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, cut down a branch from the trees, and took it and laid it on his shoulder, and said to the people with him, What you have seen me do, hurry and do likewise. 49 And everyone likewise cut down his own branch, followed Abimelech, put them against the stronghold, and set it on fire; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem also died, about a thousand men and women. 50 Then Abimelech went to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez and took it. 51 But within the city was a strong tower, and all the men and women, all the inhabitants of the city, fled there, shut themselves in, and went up to the top of the tower. 52 And Abimelech came to the tower, fought against it, and came near to the door of the tower to burn it with fire. 53 But a certain woman threw an upper millstone on Abimelech's head and crushed his skull. 54 Then he called quickly to the young man, his armor-bearer, and said to him, Draw your sword and kill me, so that they may not say of me, A woman killed him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died. 55 And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they each went to his own place. 56 Thus God repaid the wickedness of Abimelech, which he had done to his father, in killing his seventy brothers. 57 And all the evil of the men of Shechem God brought upon their heads, and the curse of Jotham, the son of Jerubbaal, came upon them.
  • Judg 12:1-6 : 1 And the men of Ephraim gathered together, and went northward, and said to Jephthah, Why did you pass over to fight against the children of Ammon, and did not call us to go with you? We will burn your house over you with fire. 2 And Jephthah said to them, I and my people were in great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, you did not deliver me out of their hands. 3 And when I saw that you did not deliver me, I put my life in my hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand: why then have you come up to me this day, to fight against me? 4 Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead struck Ephraim, because they said, You Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among the Manassites. 5 And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it happened, that when those Ephraimites who had escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said to him, Are you an Ephraimite? If he said, No; 6 Then they said to him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not pronounce it right. Then they took him, and killed him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time forty-two thousand of the Ephraimites.

To your tents, O Israel! Now see to your own house, David. So Israel departed to their tents. 17 But as for the children of Israel who dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. 18 Then King Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, so that he died. Therefore King Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem. 19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day. 20 And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had come again, they sent and called him to the congregation, and made him king over all Israel; there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
