Bible Question: I was wondering if Kings Zimri and Abimelech were just evil men or did they start out to honor God? |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Gen 20:3-13, 26:9-11 ... God's day to you, penelopefrank, There is no indication either King Abimelech started out to honor God. I believe they feared what God would do to them because what they were about to do to Sarah and Rebekah. Searcher |
