Judges 8–9 | Gideon’s Legacy and Abimelek’s Rise

📖 Judges 8–9 After victory, Gideon refuses to become king but makes a golden ephod that becomes a snare. His son Abimelek seizes power through violence, murders his brothers, and declares himself king—only to be brought down in disgrace. The dangers of pride and false leadership take center stage.
