Options

A)
Sisera
B)
Samson
C)
Abimelech
D)
Ahimelech

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

The question is asking who said the words "Draw your sword and kill me, lest men say of me, 'A woman killed him'." The options are Sisera, Samson, Abimelech, and Ahimelech. The correct answer is option C, Abimelech. Abimelech was a son of Gideon who killed his seventy brothers in order to become king. He later attacked the city of Thebez, but a woman threw a millstone on his head, causing him to ask his armor-bearer to kill him so that people would not say that he was killed by a woman. This story is found in Judges 9:50-54. It is important to note that killing is not a Christian value and is not condoned by the Bible. Instead, Christians are called to love their enemies and pray for those who persecute them (Matthew 5:44).
