Terrorism in Bible - 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings
Terrorism in Bible
2 Samuel
8.2 – David kills two-thirds of the population of the city of Moab and enslaves the rest one-third.
1 Kings
11.16 – Joab stays in Edom for six months and he killed every male of Edom.
15.29 – The entire house of Jeroboam was slaughtered as per the command of God or God’s prophecy.
2 Kings
1.9-12 – Elijah brings fire from heaven to burn to death 102 people (for worshipping ‘false God’? They did not harm Elijah, so why burn them to death?).
2.23,24 – Little children mock the bald head of Elijah and hence, Elijah curses them. God sends two she-bears and they tear apart the 42 children who mocked Elijah. (Some people claim that the translation is wrong. It could have been young men as well. Even then, is it right for God to kill these ‘men’ in a horrible way just because they mocked the prophet? It appears barbaric and is unbefitting of God)
10.17 – To show his zeal for God, Jehu kills the entire population unto Ahab in Samaria as per the word of God.
10.19-27 – Jehu lies to the followers of Baal claiming that he is going to serve Baal. He brings all the followers of Baal together in the temple of Baal and then sends his troops in to massacre them. The images of Baal were burnt and His temple was destroyed.
10.30 – God is satisfied with all the slaughter of Pagans that Jehu has made and also his slaughter of the house of Ahab. Hence, God proclaims that the children of the fourth generation of Jehu shall sit upon the throne of Israel. There is a reward for such ‘pious terrorist’ activities.
11.18 – The Lord’s people went to the temple of Baal and destroyed it. They killed the priest before the altars.
17.25,26 – The foreigners who settled in Samaria are killed by lions (which were sent by God) because they did not fear God nor did they know the manner of the God of the land. (Perhaps God thought that killing them will teach them manners of God?)
23.20 – King Josiah kills all the Pagan priests upon the altars and burns their bones upon it.
