Free Bible Study: The History of Israel Under the Judges
The depravity characteristic of the time of the judges is illustrated in chapters 17–21 with vivid examples of personal and tribal idolatry and immorality. The book as a whole illustrates the sad results of Israel’s disobedience as summarized in 21:25: “In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.”Today’s Lesson: Introduction: Samson's Life, and Conflicts with the Philistines Scripture: Judges 13-16
Preview:
The life and acts of Samson, who was to begin to deliver Israel out of the hands of the Philistines, and who judged Israel for twenty years under the rule of the Philistines ([2]Judges 13:5 and [3]Judges 15:20), are described in Judges 13-16 with an elaborate completeness which seems quite out of proportion to the help and deliverance which he brought to his people.
