Judges 9:29
Would to God this people were under my hand - The very words and conduct of a sly, hypocritical demagogue.
Increase thine army , and come out - When he found his party strong, and the public feeling warped to his side, then he appears to have sent a challenge to Abimelech, to come out and fight him.
