AB - The purpose of this paper is to examine theological unity in the story of Gideon (Judg 6-8) and the story of Abimelech (Judg 9). In this study, we will deal with the issue of idolatry, theocracy, and violence for the theological unity analysis of the two stories. Regarding the matter of idolatry, this thesis looks into the problem of YHWH and Ba'alism, the theological significance of Jerub-Baal, another name of Gideon, and the Ephod that he made with gold. Next, for theocracy, this study will examine the theological intentions of Deuteronomistic historian and on the basis of these the problems of the royal system in the story of Gideon and Abimelech. Fianlly through the theme of violence, this paper will research the violence done by Gideon and clarify that it is transplanted to his son Abimelech, further developed to its peak. Through this study, we consider that the Gideon story (Judg. 6-8) and Abimelech story (Judg. 9) are not separated subjects but unified. This thesis concludes that Deuteronomistic historian did not regard Gideon as a theologically positive figure obedient to the faith of YHWH, rather edited the latter half of the story with theological uniformity that the faith of idolatry, the denial of the new rule, and the legacy of violence, all of which are done by Gideon are inherited to his son, Abimelech and solidified.
