Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

That the: 1 Samuel 15:33, 1 Kings 2:32, Esther 9:25, Psalms 7:16, Matthew 23:34-36

aided him in the killing of: Heb. strengthened his hands to kill, Sooner or later, God will make inquisition for blood, and will return it on the heads of those that shed it. Accessories will be reckoned with, as well as principals, in that and other sins. The Shechemites, who countenanced Abimelech's pretensions, aided and abetted him in his bloody project, and avowed the fact by making him king after he had done it, must fall with him, fall by him, and fall first. Those that combine together to do wickedly, are justly dashed in pieces one against another. Blood cannot be a lasting cement to any interest.

Reciprocal: Leviticus 20:9 - his blood Judges 9:56 - God rendered 2 Samuel 1:16 - Thy blood 2 Samuel 3:29 - rest 2 Samuel 16:8 - returned Jeremiah 51:35 - The violence

Gill's Notes on the Bible

That the cruelty done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come,.... That vengeance might come on the authors of it; so things were ordered in Providence that this might come to pass:

and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, which slew them; be charged to his account, and he suffer for shedding it:

and upon the men of Shechem which aided him in killing of his brethren; by giving him money to hire men to go with him to do it, and perhaps by words encouraging the assassins, and who might be of the city of Shechem.
