God abhors violence? You have made many ridiculous claims on this thread but that ones the topper. What bible are you reading?
15 and the men of Judah raised the battle cry. At the sound of their battle cry, God routed Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. 16 The Israelites fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hands. 17 Abijah and his troops inflicted heavy losses on them, so that there were five hundred thousand casualties among Israel’s able men. 18 The Israelites were subdued on that occasion, and the people of Judah were victorious because they relied on the Lord, the God of their ancestors.
2 Chronicles 13:15-18
29 At midnight the Lord struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the livestock as well.
Exodus 12:29
When Sihon and all his army came out to meet us in battle at Jahaz, 33 the Lord our God delivered him over to us and we struck him down, together with his sons and his whole army. 34 At that time we took all his towns and completely destroyed[a] them—men, women and children. We left no survivors. 35 But the livestock and the plunder from the towns we had captured we carried off for ourselves.
Deuteronomy 2:32-35
But God struck down some of the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh, putting seventy[a] of them to death because they looked into the ark of the Lord. The people mourned because of the heavy blow the Lord had dealt them.
1 Samuel 6:19
That’s just a small sampling I could go on and on. Your reading comprehension really does suck.
I have many translations, plus Hebrew and Greek versions.
Have you ever read this?
"Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him." -- Ps 140:11 KJV
How about this?
"The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth." -- Ps 11:5 KJV
Is hate the same as abhor? If it is, then God abhors violence.
How about this?
"The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth." -- Gen 6:11-13 KJV
It certainly seems God was very upset about all the violence, and that was at least part of the reason he destroyed the earth with a flood.

Perhaps you have confused violence with self-defense and criminal punishment.
You can drop the attitude any time.
