Judges 9:28-29

28And Gaal the son of Ebed said, a“Who is Abimelech, and who are we of Shechem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerubbaal, and is not Zebul his officer? Serve the men of bHamor the father of Shechem; but why should we serve him? 29Would that this people were under my hand! Then I would remove Abimelech. I would say
Septuagint; Hebrew and he said
to Abimelech, ‘Increase your army, and come out.’”

2 Samuel 2:26-27

26Then Abner called to Joab, “Shall the sword devour forever? Do you not know that the end will be bitter? How long will it be before you tell your people to turn from the pursuit of their brothers?” 27And Joab said, “As God lives, if dyou had not spoken, surely the men would not have given up the pursuit of their brothers until the morning.”

2 Kings 14:8-14

8 eThen Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash
 Jehoash is an alternate spelling of Joash (son of Jehoahaz) as in 13:9, 12–14; also verses 9, 11–16
the son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, glet us look one another in the face.”
9And Jehoash king of Israel sent word to Amaziah king of Judah, h“A thistle on Lebanon sent to a cedar on Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son for a wife,’ and a wild beast of Lebanon passed by and trampled down the thistle. 10You have indeed istruck down Edom, jand your heart has lifted you up. Be content with your glory, and stay at home, for why should you provoke trouble so that you fall, you and Judah with you?”

11But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king of Israel went up, and he and Amaziah king of Judah kfaced one another in battle at lBeth-shemesh, which belongs to Judah. 12And Judah was defeated by Israel, mand every man fled to his home. 13And Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash, son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem for four hundred cubits,
A  cubit was about 18 inches or 45 centimeters
from othe Ephraim Gate to pthe Corner Gate.
14And he seized qall the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the Lord and in the treasuries of the king’s house, also hostages, and he returned to Samaria.

Jeremiah 2:28

28But rwhere are your gods
that you made for yourself?
Let them arise, sif they can save you,
in your time of trouble;
for tas many as your cities
are your gods, O Judah.
