Abimelech was Gideon's illegitimate son who killed his seventy brothers to seize the throne in Shechem, ruling for three years until rebellion and military defeat ended his reign. He represents ambition without principle, and his downfall illustrates the instability of rule built on violence rather than God's calling.
