What's your favorite Old Testament moment?

Here is mine:

And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord; and the Lord slew him.
And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
And the thing which he did displeased the Lord: wherefore he slew him also.
-- Genesis 38: 7-10 (KJV)

Close second is in Proverbs 25:34,

"It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house." (KJV)

And an example of the painful deficiency of one of the new Bible translations:

"It is better to live in a corner of the roof Than in a house shared with a contentious woman."

KJV wins. Much better entertainment value.
