1 Chronicles: Cruelty and Violence

  1. God killed Er for being "evil in the sight of the Lord." 2:3

  2. The sons of Reuben made war with the Hagarites and "there fell down many slain, because the war was from God." They did pretty well for themselves, too, in God's war, taking 250,000 sheep and 100,000 slaves. 5:18-22

  3. But the Israelites "transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went a whoring after the gods of the people of the land, whom God destroyed before them." So God inspired the Assyrians to enslave the Israelites. 5:25-26

  4. "Phinehas ... the LORD was with him."

  5. "Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa."

  6. Saul died for refusing God's order to kill all of the Amalekites (15:2-3, 18-19) and for consulting a witch (1 Sam.28:8-19). 10:13-14

  9. Eleazar the son of Dodo ... one of the three mighties ... slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great deliverance." 11:12-14

  10. Abishai killed 300 men with his spear. 11:20

  11. "Benaiah ... slew two lionlike men of Moab: also he went down and slew a lion." 11:22

  12. God kills Uzza for trying to keep the ark from falling. 13:9-10

  13. "The LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand."
    God tells David to go to war with the Philistines, promising to deliver them into his hand. 14:10

  14. "God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand."
    God helps David slaughter his enemies. 14:11
