'Killing' in the Bible

Stop oppressing foreigners who live in your land, children who have lost their fathers, and women who have lost their husbands. Stop killing innocent people in this land. Stop paying allegiance to other gods. That will only bring about your ruin.

As for You, Lord, You know me; You see me.You test whether my heart is with You.Drag the wicked away like sheep to slaughterand set them apart for the day of killing.

But you are always thinking and looking for ways to increase your wealth by dishonest means. Your eyes and your heart are set on killing some innocent person and committing fraud and oppression.

Now it happened on the next day after the killing of Gedaliah, when no one knew about it,

How long will you cry out, 'Oh, sword of the Lord, how long will it be before you stop killing? Go back into your sheath! Stay there and rest!'
