'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.
