It is no easy thing to take a temple thus armed. I have seen a house where, during, r volution- ary times, a man and his wife kept back a whole regiment hour after hour because they were inside the house and the assaulting soldiers were outside the -house. Yet here Abimelectt and his army come up, they surround this tem- ple, and they capture it without the toss of a single man op the part of Abimelech, although 1 suppese some of the old Israelitish heroes told Abime- loch.
