1 Samuel
2.10: The adversaries of God shall be broken to pieces and struck with thunder. (From what we have seen before, anyone who doesn’t believe in Jehovah appears to be an adversary. As such, let non-believers be careful – God may zap you with a thunder)
2.31-34: If God gets angry with you, he will not only kill you brutally but your family and descendants as well.
6.19: God killed 50,070 men of Bethshemesh for looking into his ark. (It seems God does not know about anything about ‘forgiveness’, ‘mercy’ etc. I mean just looking into the ark does not destroy or bring woe upon the fellow humans. It is no reason for giving death sentence. What sort of God is this? In my opinion, death sentence must be given to this God as the first duty before anything else)
14.12: God delivers the Philistines into Jonathan’s hands for him to slaughter them.
14.20: God makes the Philistines kill each other.
15.2-3: God orders to kill people of Amalek (as He remembers what their forefathers did aeons ago). So He orders to kill all the Amalekites – men, women, infant and suckling. Not only them but animals as well – He orders to kill sheep, ox, camel and ass (whatever did the children and animals do? Whatever did these adults do? Is it right to kill a whole tribe for what their forefathers did aeons ago?)
15.7-8: Saul killed all the people of Amalek.
15.10: God is dissatisfied with Saul because he spared the King of Amalekites and the best of their animals.
15.19: Saul committed sins in the eye of the Lord by not killing the king and some animals.
15.23: Because Saul committed sin by not following God’s orders to the letter, God rejected him from being king.
15.33: To please God, Samuel hacks the king of Amalek to pieces before God in Gilgal.
23.2-5: David asks God’s permission to kill the Philistines. God gives his assent. Therefore, David kills them in great slaughter.
25.22: David vows to kill anyone that pisses against the wall. Isn’t there any other punishment for this? Perhaps they are simply bloodthirsty – both God and his servants.
25.38: God kills Nabal. David is benefited by this killing as takes over Nabal’s wife and property.
27.8-11: David killed every man and woman in the land of Geshurites, Gezrites and Amalekites.
30.17: David kills all the Amalekites except 400 young men who escaped upon camels.

Terrorism in Bible - Judges
Judges:
1.17 – Judah and his brother, Simeon, slew the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath and utterly destroyed it.
1.25 – Israeli spies killed everyone in the enemy city except the man and his family who showed them the entrance to the city.
2.1 -3 – God is angry with the Israelis because they were tolerant of the non-believers. They did not completely destroy the infidels’ religious structures. They were told not to make any league with the infidels but they did so (the Israelis made the others their tributaries). Hence, God says that he will not fulfil His promise of driving the infidels out of the land and that they will be a thorn on the side of Israel.
2.12 -14 – God is angry with the Israelis because they worshipped other Gods and hence, he sold them (into slavery? Or is it giving up on them) so that they were unable to stand before their enemies.
3.8 – Once again, God sells the Israelites because they worshipped other Gods. This time he sold them to the King of Mesopotamia for 8 years.
6.25-28 – Gideon destroys a shrine of Lord Baal upon the orders of God.
8.6-17 – The people of a city refuse to feed Gideon’s army, so he kills the elders of the city and all its men.
Chapters 15 and 16 – Samson commits arson and kills many Philistines. Finally, when the Philistines capture and blind him, he dies and takes along with him 3000 Philistine men and women. He prayed to God that they shall be dead along with him. God fulfilled his wishes.

Terrorism in Bible - Joshua
Joshua:
6.17 – All the inhabitants of Jericho are to be killed except a harlot named Rahab.

7.24-25 – A person named Achan did not follow a rule. Hence, he and his entire family (sons and daughters) and his animals (oxen and sheep) were stoned to death. (Whatever did those animals do to suffer such a horrible death? Why were his children killed? If it is because they took part in his mistake (Bible does not say anything about their involvement), should they not be given some less severe punishment because they were mislead by their father? The whole episode looks like it was meant to terrorise people into following the Biblical rules)
8.8 – God commands that when they have taken the city of Ai, they shall burn it. (It seems Jehovah is very fond of burning cities and killing people, including innocent children)
8.22-26 – Israelites kill every inhabitant of Ai numbering 12000.
