Sooner or later, God will make inquisition for blood, and will
return it on the heads of those that shed it. Accessaries
will be reckoned with, as well as principals, in that and
other sins. The Shechemites, who countenanced Abimelech's
pretensions, aided and abetted him in his bloody project, and
avowed the fact by making him king after he had done it, must
fall with him, fall by him, and fall first. Those that
combine together to do wickedly, are justly dashed in pieces
one against another. Blood cannot be a lasting cement to any
interest.
