Kill People Who Don't Listen to Priests
Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge
or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must
be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. (
Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)
Kill Witches
You should not let a sorceress live. (Exodus 22:17
NAB)
Kill Homosexuals
"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them
shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have
forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)
Kill Fortunetellers
A man or a woman who acts as a medium or fortuneteller
shall be put to death by stoning; they have no one but
themselves to blame for their death. (Leviticus 20:27 NAB)
Death for Hitting Dad
Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to
death. (Exodus 21:15 NAB)
Death for Cursing Parents
1) If one curses his father or mother, his lamp will go
out at the coming of darkness. (Proverbs 20:20 NAB)
2) All who curse their father or mother must be put to
death. They are guilty of a capital offense. (Leviticus 20:9
NLT)
Death for Adultery
If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both
the man and the woman must be put to death. (Leviticus
20:10 NLT)
Death for Fornication
A priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing
fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be
burned to death. (Leviticus 21:9 NAB)
Death to Followers of Other Religions
Whoever sacrifices to any god, except the Lord alone,
shall be doomed. (Exodus 22:19 NAB)
Kill Nonbelievers
They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of
their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone
who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death,
whether small or great, whether man or
woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)
Kill False Prophets
If a man still prophesies, his parents, father and mother
, shall say to him, "You shall not live, because you have
spoken a lie in the name of the Lord." When he prophesies, his parents
, father and mother, shall thrust him through.
(Zechariah 13:3 NAB)
Kill the Entire Town if One Person Worships Another God
Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is
giving you that some worthless rabble among you
have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign
gods. In such cases, you must examine
the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a
detestable act has occurred among you, you must
attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all
the livestock. Then you must pile all the
plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town
to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your
God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt.&#
160; Keep none of the plunder that has been set
apart for destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger
and be merciful to you. He will have compassion
on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your
ancestors. "The LORD your God will be
merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you
today, doing what is pleasing to him."
(Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)
Kill Women Who Are Not Virgins On Their Wedding Night
But if this charge is true (that she wasn't a virgin on
her wedding night), and evidence of the girls virginity is not
found, they shall bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and
there her townsman shall stone her to death,
because she committed a crime against Israel by her unchasteness in her
father's house. Thus shall you purge the
evil from your midst. (Deuteronomy 22:20-21 NAB)
Kill Followers of Other Religions.
1) If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or
your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly
to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any
other nations, near at hand or far away,
from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him
, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or
shield him, but kill him. Your hand shall be the first raised to slay
him; the rest of the people shall join in with you.
You shall stone him to death, because he sought to lead you astray from the
Lord, your God, who brought you out of
the land of Egypt, that place of slavery. And all Israel, hearing of
this, shall fear and never do such evil as this in your
midst. (Deuteronomy 13:7-12 NAB)
2) Suppose a man or woman among you, in one of your towns
that the LORD your God is giving you, has done evil
in the sight of the LORD your God and has violated the covenant by serving
other gods or by worshiping the sun, the
moon, or any of the forces of heaven, which I have strictly forbidden.
When you hear about it, investigate the matter
thoroughly. If it is true that this detestable thing has been done in Israel
, then that man or woman must be taken to the
gates of the town and stoned to death. (Deuteronomy 17:2-5 NLT)
Death for Blasphemy
One day a man who had an Israelite mother and an Egyptian
father got into a fight with one of the Israelite men.
During the fight, this son of an Israelite woman blasphemed the LORD's name.
So the man was brought to Moses for
judgment. His mother's name was Shelomith. She was the daughter of
Dibri of the tribe of Dan. They put the man in
custody until the LORD's will in the matter should become clear. Then
the LORD said to Moses, "Take the
blasphemer outside the camp, and tell all those who heard him to lay their
hands on his head. Then let the entire
community stone him to death. Say to the people of Israel: Those who
blaspheme God will suffer the consequences
of their guilt and be punished. Anyone who blasphemes the LORD's name
must be stoned to death by the whole
community of Israel. Any Israelite or foreigner among you who
blasphemes the LORD's name will surely die.
(Leviticus 24:10-16 NLT)
Kill False Prophets
1) Suppose there are prophets among you, or those who
have dreams about the future, and they promise you signs
or miracles, and the predicted signs or miracles take place. If
the prophets then say, 'Come, let us worship the gods
of foreign nations,' do not listen to them. The LORD your God is
testing you to see if you love him with all your heart
and soul. Serve only the LORD your God and fear him alone. Obey
his commands, listen to his voice, and cling to
him. The false prophets or dreamers who try to lead you astray must be
put to death, for they encourage rebellion
against the LORD your God, who brought you out of slavery in the land of
Egypt. Since they try to keep you from
following the LORD your God, you must execute them to remove the evil from
among you. (Deuteronomy 13:1-5
NLT)
2) But any prophet who claims to give a message from
another god or who falsely claims to speak for me must
die.' You may wonder, 'How will we know whether the prophecy is from
the LORD or not?' If the prophet predicts
something in the LORD's name and it does not happen, the LORD did not give
the message. That prophet has
spoken on his own and need not be feared. (Deuteronomy 18:20-22 NLT)
Infidels and Gays Should Die
So God let them go ahead and do whatever shameful things
their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and
degrading things with each other's bodies. Instead of believing what
they knew was the truth about God, they
deliberately chose to believe lies. So they worshiped the things God
made but not the Creator himself, who is to be
praised forever. Amen. That is why God abandoned them to their
shameful desires. Even the women turned against
the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other.&#
160; And the men, instead of having normal
sexual relationships with women, burned with lust for each other. Men
did shameful things with other men and, as a
result, suffered within themselves the penalty they so richly deserved. &#
160;When they refused to acknowledge God, he
abandoned them to their evil minds and let them do things that should never
be done. Their lives became full of
every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, fighting,
deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. They
are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They
are forever inventing new ways of sinning and
are disobedient to their parents. They refuse to understand, break
their promises, and are heartless and unforgiving.
They are fully aware of God's death penalty for those who do these things,
yet they go right ahead and do them
anyway. And, worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too. (
Romans 1:24-32 NLT)
Kill Anyone who Approaches the Tabernacle
For the LORD had said to Moses, 'Exempt the tribe of Levi
from the census; do not include them when you count
the rest of the Israelites. You must put the Levites in charge of the
Tabernacle of the Covenant, along with its
furnishings and equipment. They must carry the Tabernacle and its
equipment as you travel, and they must care for it
and camp around it. Whenever the Tabernacle is moved, the Levites will
take it down and set it up again. Anyone
else who goes too near the Tabernacle will be executed.' (Numbers 1:48
-51 NLT)
Kill People for Working on the Sabbath
The LORD then gave these further instructions to Moses: '
Tell the people of Israel to keep my Sabbath day, for the
Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between me and you forever. It helps
you to remember that I am the LORD, who
makes you holy. Yes, keep the Sabbath day, for it is holy.
Anyone who desecrates it must die; anyone who works on
that day will be cut off from the community. Work six days only, but
the seventh day must be a day of total rest. I
repeat: Because the LORD considers it a holy day, anyone who works on the
Sabbath must be put to death.'

发帖数: 38403 | 2 2) God's Murders for Stupid Reasons:
Kill Brats
From there Elisha went up to Bethel. While he was
on his way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him. "
Go up baldhead," they shouted, "go up baldhead!" The prophet turned
and saw them, and he cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two
shebears came out of the woods and tore forty two of the children to pieces.
(2 Kings 2:23-24 NAB)
God Kills the Curious
And he smote of the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had
looked into the ark of Jehovah, he smote of the people seventy men, `and'
fifty thousand men; and the people mourned, because Jehovah had smitten the
people with a great slaughter. And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who
is able to stand before Jehovah, this holy God? and to whom shall he go up
from us? (1Samuel 6:19-20 ASV)
Killed by a Lion
Meanwhile, the LORD instructed one of the group of
prophets to say to another man, "Strike me!" But the man refused to
strike the prophet. Then the prophet told him, "Because you have not
obeyed the voice of the LORD, a lion will kill you as soon as you leave me."
And sure enough, when he had gone, a lion attacked and killed him. &#
160;(1 Kings 20:35-36 NLT)
Killing the Good Samaritan
The ark of God was placed on a new cart and taken away
from the house of Abinadab on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, sons of
Abinadab guided the cart, with Ahio walking before it, while David and all
the Israelites made merry before the Lord with all their strength, with
singing and with citharas, harps, tambourines, sistrums, and cymbals.
When they came to the threshing floor of Nodan, Uzzah
reached out his hand to the ark of God to steady it, for the oxen were
making it tip. But the Lord was angry with Uzzah; God struck him on
that spot, and he died there before God. (2 Samuel 6:3-7 NAB) | l*****a

Kill Sons of Sinners
Make ready to slaughter his sons for the guilt of their
fathers; Lest they rise and posses the earth, and fill the breadth of the
world with tyrants. (Isaiah 14:21 NAB)
God Will Kill Children
The glory of Israel will fly away like a bird, for your
children will die at birth or perish in the womb or never even be conceived.
Even if your children do survive to grow up, I will take them from
you. It will be a terrible day when I turn away and leave you alone.&#
160; I have watched Israel become as beautiful and pleasant as Tyre.
But now Israel will bring out her children to be slaughtered." O LORD,
what should I request for your people? I will ask for wombs that don'
t give birth and breasts that give no milk. The LORD says, "All their
wickedness began at Gilgal; there I began to hate them. I will drive
them from my land because of their evil actions. I will love them no
more because all their leaders are rebels. The people of Israel are
stricken. Their roots are dried up; they will bear no more fruit.
; And if they give birth, I will slaughter their beloved children." (
Hosea 9:11-16 NLT)
Kill Men, Women, and Children
"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him
through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show
no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and
women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. &#
160;Begin your task right here at the Temple." So they began by
killing the seventy leaders. "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded.
"Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!" &#
160;So they went throughout the city and did as they were told." (
Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT)
God Kills all the First Born of Egypt
And at midnight the LORD killed all the firstborn sons in
the land of Egypt, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne
, to the firstborn son of the captive in the dungeon. Even the firstborn of
their livestock were killed. Pharaoh and his officials and all the
people of Egypt woke up during the night, and loud wailing was heard
throughout the land of Egypt. There was not a single house where someone had
not died. (Exodus 12:29-30 NLT)
Kill Old Men and Young Women
"You are my battle-ax and sword," says the LORD. "
With you I will shatter nations and destroy many kingdoms. With you I
will shatter armies, destroying the horse and rider, the chariot and
charioteer. With you I will shatter men and women, old people and
children, young men and maidens. With you I will shatter shepherds and
flocks, farmers and oxen, captains and rulers. "As you watch, I will
repay Babylon and the people of Babylonia for all the wrong they have done
to my people in Jerusalem," says the LORD. "Look, O mighty mountain,
destroyer of the earth! I am your enemy," says the LORD. "I will
raise my fist against you, to roll you down from the heights. When I
am finished, you will be nothing but a heap of rubble. You will be
desolate forever. Even your stones will never again be used for
building. You will be completely wiped out," says the LORD. (
Jeremiah 51:20-26)
(Note that after God promises the Israelites a
victory against Babylon, the Israelites actually get their butts kicked by
them in the next chapter. So much for an all-knowing and all-powerful
God.)
God Will Kill the Children of Sinners
If even then you remain hostile toward me and refuse to
obey, I will inflict you with seven more disasters for your sins. I
will release wild animals that will kill your children and destroy your
cattle, so your numbers will dwindle and your roads will be deserted.
(Leviticus 26:21-22 NLT)
More Rape and Baby Killing
Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword.&
#160; Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes.
Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking
hordes. For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon, and no amount of
silver or gold will buy them off. The attacking armies will shoot
down the young people with arrows. They will have no mercy on helpless
babies and will show no compassion for the children. (Isaiah 13:15-18

发帖数: 38403 | 4 4) Miscellaneous Murders
More of Samson's Murders
(The Lord saves Sampson from standing trial for 30
murders and arson by allowing him to kill 1000 more men.) When he
reached Lehi, and the Philistines came shouting to meet him, the spirit of
the Lord came upon him: the ropes around his arms become as flax that is
consumed by fire and the bonds melted away from his hands. Near him
was the fresh jawbone of an ass; he reached out, grasped it, and with it
killed a thousand men. (Judges 15:14-15 NAB)
Peter Kills Two People
There was also a man named Ananias who, with his wife,
Sapphira, sold some property. He brought part of the money to the
apostles, but he claimed it was the full amount. His wife had agreed
to this deception. Then Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled
your heart? You lied to the Holy Spirit, and you kept some of the
money for yourself. The property was yours to sell or not sell, as you
wished. And after selling it, the money was yours to give away.
How could you do a thing like this? You weren't lying to us but to
God." As soon as Ananias heard these words, he fell to the floor and
died. Everyone who heard about it was terrified. Then some young
men wrapped him in a sheet and took him out and buried him. About
three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
Peter asked her, "Was this the price you and your husband received for your
land?" "Yes," she replied, "that was the price." And Peter said,
"How could the two of you even think of doing a thing like this –
conspiring together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Just outside that
door are the young men who buried your husband, and they will carry you out,
too." Instantly, she fell to the floor and died. When the young
men came in and saw that she was dead, they carried her out and buried her
beside her husband. Great fear gripped the entire church and all
others who heard what had happened. (Acts 5:1-11 NLT)
Mass Murder
This is what the Lord of hosts has to say: 'I will
punish what Amalek did to Israel when he barred his way as he was coming up
from Egypt. Go, now, attack Amalek, and deal with him and all that he
has under the ban. Do not spare him, but kill men and women, children
and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and asses.' (1 Samuel 15:2-3
NAB)
You Have to Kill
Cursed be he who does the Lords work remissly, cursed he
who holds back his sword from blood. (Jeremiah 48:10 NAB)
The Danites Kill the Next Town
But the territory of the Danites was too small for them;
so the Danites marched up and attacked Leshem, which they captured and put
to the sword. Once they had taken possession of Lesham, they renamed
the settlement after their ancestor Dan. (Joshua 19:47 NAB)
God Kills Some More
Then the LORD said to me, "Even if Moses and Samuel stood
before me pleading for these people, I wouldn't help them. Away with
them! Get them out of my sight! And if they say to you, 'But
where can we go?' tell them, 'This is what the LORD says: Those who are
destined for death, to death; those who are destined for war, to war; those
who are destined for famine, to famine; those who are destined for captivity
, to captivity.' "I will send four kinds of destroyers against them,"
says the LORD. "I will send the sword to kill, the dogs to drag away,
the vultures to devour, and the wild animals to finish up what is left.
; Because of the wicked things Manasseh son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, did
in Jerusalem, I will make my people an object of horror to all the kingdoms
of the earth." (Jeremiah 15:1-4 NLT)
God Promises More Killing
I will make Mount Seir utterly desolate, killing off all
who try to escape and any who return. I will fill your mountains with
the dead. Your hills, your valleys, and your streams will be filled with
people slaughtered by the sword. I will make you desolate forever.
Your cities will never be rebuilt. Then you will know that I am the LORD.&#
160; (Ezekiel 35:7-9 NLT)
The Angel of Death
My angel will go before you and bring you to the Amorites
, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites; and I will wipe
them out. (Exodus 23:23 NAB)
Destruction of Ai
Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid or
discouraged. Take the entire army and attack Ai, for I have given to
you the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land. You will
destroy them as you destroyed Jericho and its king. But this time you may
keep the captured goods and the cattle for yourselves. Set an ambush behind
the city." So Joshua and the army of Israel set out to attack Ai.
; Joshua chose thirty thousand fighting men and sent them out at night with
these orders: "Hide in ambush close behind the city and be ready for action.
When our main army attacks, the men of Ai will come out to fight as
they did before, and we will run away from them. We will let them
chase us until they have all left the city. For they will say, 'The
Israelites are running away from us as they did before.' Then you will
jump up from your ambush and take possession of the city, for the LORD your
God will give it to you. Set the city on fire, as the LORD has
commanded. You have your orders." So they left that night and
lay in ambush between Bethel and the west side of Ai. But Joshua
remained among the people in the camp that night.
Early the next morning Joshua roused his men and started
toward Ai, accompanied by the leaders of Israel. They camped on the
north side of Ai, with a valley between them and the city. That night
Joshua sent five thousand men to lie in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the
west side of the city. So they stationed the main army north of the
city and the ambush west of the city. Joshua himself spent that night
in the valley. When the king of Ai saw the Israelites across the
valley, he and all his army hurriedly went out early the next morning and
attacked the Israelites at a place overlooking the Jordan Valley. But
he didn't realize there was an ambush behind the city. Joshua and the
Israelite army fled toward the wilderness as though they were badly beaten,&
#160; and all the men in the city were called out to chase after them.
In this way, they were lured away from the city. There was not a man
left in Ai or Bethel who did not chase after the Israelites, and the city
was left wide open.
Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Point your spear toward Ai
, for I will give you the city." Joshua did as he was commanded.
As soon as Joshua gave the signal, the men in ambush jumped up and poured
into the city. They quickly captured it and set it on fire. When
the men of Ai looked behind them, smoke from the city was filling the sky,
and they had nowhere to go. For the Israelites who had fled in the direction
of the wilderness now turned on their pursuers. When Joshua and the
other Israelites saw that the ambush had succeeded and that smoke was rising
from the city, they turned and attacked the men of Ai. Then the
Israelites who were inside the city came out and started killing the enemy
from the rear. So the men of Ai were caught in a trap, and all of them died.
Not a single person survived or escaped. Only the king of Ai was
taken alive and brought to Joshua.
When the Israelite army finished killing all the men
outside the city, they went back and finished off everyone inside. So
the entire population of Ai was wiped out that day – twelve thousand in all
. For Joshua kept holding out his spear until everyone who had lived
in Ai was completely destroyed. Only the cattle and the treasures of
the city were not destroyed, for the Israelites kept these for themselves,
as the LORD had commanded Joshua. So Ai became a permanent mound of
ruins, desolate to this very day. Joshua hung the king of Ai on a tree
and left him there until evening. At sunset the Israelites took down the
body and threw it in front of the city gate. They piled a great heap
of stones over him that can still be seen today. (Joshua 8:1-29 NLT)
Killing at Jericho
When the people heard the sound of the horns, they
shouted as loud as they could. Suddenly, the walls of Jericho collapsed, and
the Israelites charged straight into the city from every side and captured
it. They completely destroyed everything in it – men and women, young
and old, cattle, sheep, donkeys – everything. (Joshua 6:20-21 NLT)
God Kills an Extended Family
"You have done more evil than all who lived before you.&#
160; You have made other gods and have made me furious with your gold calves
. And since you have turned your back on me, I will bring disaster on
your dynasty and kill all your sons, slave or free alike. I will burn
up your royal dynasty as one burns up trash until it is all gone. I,
the LORD, vow that the members of your family who die in the city will be
eaten by dogs, and those who die in the field will be eaten by vultures.'"&#
160; Then Ahijah said to Jeroboam's wife, "Go on home, and when you enter
the city, the child will die. All Israel will mourn for him and bury
him. He is the only member of your family who will have a proper
burial, for this child is the only good thing that the LORD, the God of
Israel, sees in the entire family of Jeroboam. And the LORD will raise
up a king over Israel who will destroy the family of Jeroboam. This
will happen today, even now! Then the LORD will shake Israel like a
reed whipped about in a stream. He will uproot the people of Israel
from this good land that he gave their ancestors and will scatter them
beyond the Euphrates River, for they have angered the LORD by worshiping
Asherah poles. He will abandon Israel because Jeroboam sinned and made
all of Israel sin along with him." (1 Kings 14:9-16 NLT)
Mass Murder
The men of Israel withdrew through the territory of the
Benjaminites, putting to the sword the inhabitants of the city, the
livestock, and all they chanced upon. Moreover they destroyed by fire
all the cities they came upon. (Judges 20:48 NAB)
The Angel of Death
That night the angel of the Lord went forth and struck
down one hundred and eighty five thousand men in the Assyrian camp.
Early the next morning, there they were, all the corpuses of the dead.
;(2 Kings 19:35 NAB)
Kill Your Neighbors
(Moses) stood at the entrance to the camp and shouted, "
All of you who are on the LORD's side, come over here and join me." And all
the Levites came. He told them, "This is what the LORD, the God of
Israel, says: Strap on your swords! Go back and forth from one end of the
camp to the other, killing even your brothers, friends, and neighbors."
; The Levites obeyed Moses, and about three thousand people died that day.&#
160; Then Moses told the Levites, "Today you have been ordained for the
service of the LORD, for you obeyed him even though it meant killing your
own sons and brothers. Because of this, he will now give you a great
blessing." (Exodus 32:26-29 NLT)
Kill the Family of Sinners
And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give, I pray thee,
glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession to him; and tell me now
what thou hast done, hide it not from me. And Achan answered Joshua,
and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and
thus have I done. When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish
garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty
shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them, and behold, they are hid
in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it." [Note
that the sin is not looting, but failing to give the loot to the treasury
of the Lord.] "So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent,
and behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it. And they
took them from the midst of the tent, and brought them to Joshua, and to all
the children of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD. And Joshua
, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and
the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his
oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and
they brought them to the valley of Achor. And Joshua said, why hast
thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all
Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had
stoned them with stones. And they raised over him a great heap of
stones to this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his
anger: wherefore the name of that place was called the valley of Achor to
this day. (Joshua 7:19-26 Webster's Bible)
Kill Followers of Other Religions
While the Israelites were camped at Acacia, some of the
men defiled themselves by sleeping with the local Moabite women. These
women invited them to attend sacrifices to their gods, and soon the
Israelites were feasting with them and worshiping the gods of Moab.
Before long Israel was joining in the worship of Baal of Peor, causing the
LORD's anger to blaze against his people. The LORD issued the
following command to Moses: "Seize all the ringleaders and execute them
before the LORD in broad daylight, so his fierce anger will turn away from
the people of Israel." So Moses ordered Israel's judges to execute
everyone who had joined in worshiping Baal of Peor. Just then one of
the Israelite men brought a Midianite woman into the camp, right before the
eyes of Moses and all the people, as they were weeping at the entrance of
the Tabernacle. When Phinehas son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron the
priest saw this, he jumped up and left the assembly. Then he took a
spear and rushed after the man into his tent. Phinehas thrust the spear all
the way through the man's body and into the woman's stomach. So the
plague against the Israelites was stopped, but not before 24,000 people had
died. (Numbers 25:1-9 NLT)
Murder
At the customary time for offering the evening sacrifice,
Elijah the prophet walked up to the altar and prayed, "O LORD, God of
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, prove today that you are God in Israel and that I
am your servant. Prove that I have done all this at your command. O
LORD, answer me! Answer me so these people will know that you, O LORD, are
God and that you have brought them back to yourself." Immediately the
fire of the LORD flashed down from heaven and burned up the young bull, the
wood, the stones, and the dust. It even licked up all the water in the
ditch! And when the people saw it, they fell on their faces and cried
out, "The LORD is God! The LORD is God!" Then Elijah commanded,
"Seize all the prophets of Baal. Don't let a single one escape!" &#

Valley and killed them there. (1 Kings 18:36-40 NLT)
Kill All of Babylon
"Go up, my warriors, against the land of Merathaim and
against the people of Pekod. Yes, march against Babylon, the land of rebels,
a land that I will judge! Pursue, kill, and completely destroy them,
as I have commanded you," says the LORD. "Let the battle cry be heard
in the land, a shout of great destruction". (Jeremiah 50:21-22
NLT)
Micah Kills a Whole Town
Then, with Micah's idols and his priest, the men of Dan
came to the town of Laish, whose people were peaceful and secure. They
attacked and killed all the people and burned the town to the ground.
There was no one to rescue the residents of the town, for they lived a
great distance from Sidon and had no allies nearby. This happened in
the valley near Beth-rehob.Then the people of the tribe of Dan rebuilt the
town and lived there. They renamed the town Dan after their ancestor,
Israel's son, but it had originally been called Laish. (Judges 18:27-
29 NLT) (Note that God approves of this slaughter in verse 6.) | z********g
