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: The Judge Izban
Scripture: Judges 12.8-12.10Preview:
We have between the Judgeships of Jephthah and Samson a short account of the short reigns of three more of the judges of Israel, the first is Izban who governed for seven years, Chapter 57; the second is Elon who governed for ten years, Chapter 58; and the third is Abdon who governed for eight years; Chapter 59. For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof; But by men of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged. Prov 28:2 (ASV) You will notice that we don’t know much about these men.
