Gordon K. Oeste
Though the portrait of Abimelech as king in "Judges" 9 is negative, this portrayal served to delegitimate local leaders in favor of centralized power-holders. This book explores the portrayal of the rise, reign, and demise of Abimelech in "Judges" 9 and asks about whose interests this portrayal may have served.
