Sticks & Stones

Episode 8: Sticks & Stones | "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." But is that really true? In this episode of BibleCurio, we explore the story of Abimelech in Judges 9—a man brought down by both stones and words—and uncover a mysterious connection to 2 Samuel 11-12. Why does Joab invoke Abimelech’s downfall when speaking to David? And what do the rare Old Testament parables in these chapters reveal about power, legacy, and the stark contrast between Abimelech and David?
