Judges 20-21: When Everyone Did as They Saw Fit
In Judges 19-21, we witness a series of horrifying events that epitomize the moral decay in Israel during those dark days. The story unfolds as a street-level view of a nation where everyone does as they see fit.
The Levite, who had shown a complete lack of compassion for his concubine, takes a gruesome turn. Upon returning home, he cuts her into twelve pieces and sends them throughout Israel, provoking outrage and a call for action.
The Israelites' initial shock and motivation to address the atrocity led to three battles and devastating losses. They eventually secure victory over the tribe of Benjamin, but the cost is incredibly high.
In a devastating conflict, Israel turns against its own in a brutal battle. The horrifying death toll reveals the depths to which the nation has fallen.
With the tribe of Benjamin at risk of extinction, the Israelites devise a disturbing plan to provide wives for the remaining bachelors, including killing the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead. The story concludes with a deep sense of moral decay and a reminder of the Israelites' broken relationship with God and one another.
