Judges 1-4

Published: May 5, 2022, 4:05 a.m.

b'Under the rule of Joshua, Israel was doing well and was off to a good start in obeying the Lord\\u2019s commands. Not long afterward, however, they begin to intermarry with the Canaanites, signaling, not only an apathy toward God\\u2019s commands, but an acceptance of the gods that the Canaanites worshiped. God declares that he will no longer drive out the Canaanites before Israel, and he leaves them in the land to test Israel\\u2019s faithfulness to His commands. When their foes rise to power and they cry to the Lord for help, he raises up judges to fight for them.'
