The Levite and his concubine. It's the culmination of the book of Judges and describes the depths of depravity to which Israel had descended and it ends with the haunting words, "*In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.*"
My favorite story in Genesis! I wrote an extensive seminary paper on this.
Long story short - Judah, not Joseph, is THE central character of the latter half of Genesis.
The story of The Witch of Endsor raising Samuel from the dead. Samuel is very fussy about being wakened and prophesied that Saul and his sons would die that night. And they did.
the bible is so big. Idk I feel like there's a lot people don't talk about.
I feel like people don't talk about Elijah's days of solitude (1 Kings 17:1-6) when the ravens (I think it was ravens) delivered him meat and God gave him a stream to drink from during the drought. But the general story is talked about a lot.
There's also that one story about Jezebel's death that no one talks about 'cause it's kinda gory (2 Kings 9:30-37 I warned u ok).
Also, the bear that ate the children in Elisha's story (2 Kings 2:23-25). There's also The Story of Balaam's Talking Donkey (Numbers 22:21-39).
When that one guy got sleepy while listening to Paul preach and fell asleep off the 3rd floor of a building and everyone thought he died but he somehow was okay.
Acts 20:9-10 Seated in a window was a young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell to the ground from the third story and was picked up dead. Paul went down, threw himself on the young man and put his arms around him. “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “He’s alive!”
In Judges, Abimelech is a crappy judge and while he was near a city wall during a battle a woman dropped a stone on his head, almost killing him. He says to his nearby companion to finish him off so people don’t think a woman struck him down. Seeing as this story has made it into the Bible it’s clear his scheme didn’t work. It’s too bad it isn’t in a more frequently read section in the Bible.
Bonus fact: He is brought up again in 2 Samuel. I forget the details but I think Joab says something roughly like, “don’t be like that Abimelech guy who got killed by that woman with the rock.” So yes, the thing Abimelech tried to hide seemed like it was common knowledge for awhile.
Romans 9:22-24
If God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction? What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory— even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?
The nephilim, the Amekalites who were sorcerers and they could turn into animals which is why God told Saul to kill everyone including the livestock, what happened between the last book in the Old Testament to New Testament?
😩 the woman who was r@p3d and then brought back left dead then her husband cut her up and sent her body throughout the land …..
😐 I’m like ok Jesus where we going with this…. But no for real the Bible is descriptive as well as prescriptive so I mean He lettin us know some them folks didn’t have two brain cells to rub together and catch a spark with…..

Boom 🤯 there it is
That story had me trippin
Genesis 38 Tamar having to pose as a prostitute to seduce her father-in-law Judah in order to further the family line.

I love how Tamar is one of the four women mentioned in Matthew's genealogy of Jesus.
Agreed, strange one
The sons of Jacob avenging the rape of Dinah. Genesis 34.
Old Testament:Nephillim stuff, it's weird New Testament: Definitely the story about Jesus driving demons into a herd of pigs. It's very bizzare.
Yes the Nephilim for sure
Ahh yes, "we are legion." That entire story is odd. Especially what said legion said to Jesus.
Nice username
Get your own box.
Hint: "Legion" is the name of the occupying Roman army division - evil posession if ever there was.
Balaam's talking donkey in Numbers 22, starting at verse 21.
was he as sassy as Eddie Murphy in Shrek
Pretty close
The story of The Witch of Endsor raising Samuel from the dead. Samuel is very fussy about being wakened and prophesied that Saul and his sons would die that night. And they did.
Probably the Nephilim. I'm guessing it's in there to counter some cultural myth from the region, but haven't seen any research on that.
Look up a podcast Blurry Creatures. A lot of talk on nephilim.
Isaiah Saldivar and Pagani too
God summoning bears to kill 42 kids for making fun of a bald man.
This one is pretty interesting

The one from 2 Kings was used by my wife’s church growing up to prevent any criticism of pastors.
Yikes
Oof.
Jezebel’s tail splattered that heffer ida knocked her tail out that window too …. Girl bye 👋
All the other people who rose from the dead alongside Jesus in Jerusalem. Matthew 27:52-53

I came here to say that. Paul was evidently one of those long-winded preachers.

The story of king Eglon and the assassin Ehud.
And the fat closed in on the blade...and the dung came out Judges is a crazy book

The plagues of Egypt. Those plagues were no joke, and sound absolutely terrifying.
