Judgment, justice
Strong's #H1783
Dinah was the name of Jacob's (Israel's) first and only daughter, the last child he produced through Leah. She is also the eleventh child out of thirteen total children Jacob produced through four women.
Dinah is seduced by Shechem who then tries to arrange a marriage with her through his father Hamor. Jacob's sons feign accepting the marriage proposal on the condition that Hamor, Shechem and all the males in the city become circumcised.
Simeon and Levi, while the males are recovering from being circumcised, enter the city and slaughter all the men in revenge for their sister being defiled. They then, along with the other sons of Jacob, take captive all those left alive and pillage the area.

Jove nourished
Strong's #G1361
Diotrephes was an arrogant and vain leader who attempted to govern the church he attended like a dictator (e.g. the Nicolaitans).
Diotrephes' sinful behavior included frequently slandering the Apostle John. He also refused to be hospitable to Christians visiting the church and cast out of the fellowship those who did so. John planned to visit the church in order to correct the situation (3John 1:13 - 14).

Fearing, anxious
Strong's #H1673
King Saul accuses some of Israel's priests of helping David. Such aid, in his mind, is an act of treason. His anger propels him to make the rash decision to kill all eighty-five priests before him. When his Israelite servants refuse to carry out such a heinous act, he commands Doeg to murder them. Doeg, an Edomite, then willingly slaughters the priests.
Doeg, not content with the mass carnage he caused, then quickly travels to Nob where the priests lived. He then, in cold blood, decimates most of the city's innocent inhabitants, including women, babies and even animals (1Samuel 22)!

Circle, dwelling
Strong's #H1757
Dura is the place in Babylon where King Nebuchadnezzar set up a huge gold (gold plated) image (minimum 87 feet or 26.5 meters high and roughly 9 feet or 2.7 meters wide). After its creation, he required all those under his power to worship it or suffer the death penalty.
Daniel's three friends, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, refuse to commit idolatry and worship Nebuchadnezzar's statue. The king, in a fit of rage, has the three men thrown into a fiery furnace. After they miraculously survive his brutality, Nebuchadnezzar admits that the God of Israel is the only true Deity worthy of worship.
