'Opponent' in the Bible

And at that time I instructed your judges, saying, '{hear out your fellow men}, and [then] judge fairly between a man and between his brother and between {his opponent who is a resident alien}.

Then each man grabbed his opponent by the head and thrust his sword into his opponent’s side so that they all died together. So this place, which is in Gibeon, is named Field of Blades.

and each one struck down his opponent. So the Arameans fled and Israel pursued them, but Ben-hadad king of Aram escaped on a horse with the cavalry.

For though I were righteous, I could not answer.I must appeal for mercy to my Opponent and Judge.

May my enemy be like the wickedand my opponent like the unjust.

If only I had someone to hear my case!Here is my signature; let the Almighty answer me.Let my Opponent compose His indictment.

The first to state his case seems right, until his opponent begins to cross-examine him.

Don’t take a matter to court hastily.Otherwise, what will you do afterwardif your opponent humiliates you?

Make your case with your opponentwithout revealing another’s secret;

But thus says Yahweh: "Indeed a captive of [the] mighty shall be taken, and [the] war-booty [of] [the] tyrant shall be rescued, for I myself will dispute [with] your opponent, and I myself will save your children.

Near is He who is justifying me, Who doth contend with me? We stand together, who is mine opponent? Let him come nigh unto me.

Come to terms quickly with your opponent while you are on the way to court, or your opponent may hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison.

For example, when you go with your opponent in front of a ruler, do your best to settle with him on the way there. Otherwise, you will be dragged in front of the judge, and the judge will hand you over to an officer, and the officer will throw you into prison.

and a widow was in that city, and she was coming unto him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent,

and that neither in the Temple nor in the synagogues, nor anywhere in the city, did they find me disputing with any opponent or collecting a crowd about me.

If one of you has a grievance against an opponent, does he dare to go to law before irreligious men and not before God's people?

Your message is to be sound beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be ashamed, having nothing bad to say about us.

Be clear-minded and alert. Your opponent, the Devil, is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
