Judges author may be Samuel, This book tells 0f the failure of the children of Israel to maintain the high spiritual Standard,handed down by Moses and Joshua. They not only failed to conquer the Land of Canaan; as God said: but they also fell into idolatry and sinful practices, of the Canaanites. there growing disobedience brought oppression on them self, Judges 2: 7, The people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the Elders that out lived Joshua, who has seen all the great works of the Lord. The newest generation, did evil in the sight of the Lord. After Joshua died, they forsook the Lord; and serve Baal, and Ashtaroth. In those days there was no King in Israel; Every one does what was right in there one eyes. The Lord raised up Judges, After the Judges died, the people return to there corrupted and Stubborn way.
After serving false god, and give there daughters to the Hittites, Amorites, Preizzites, Hivites, and the jebusites, and took there daughters for wifes, and served Baal and the groves. They were sold into the hand of Chushan, King of Mesopotamia: they cried unto the Lord, and the Lord give them Othniel, he was there Judge ,for forty years they had restfrom there trubbles; then he died. Over and Over, they sinned, they were punished, they cried to God He forgave them. As they served Eglon the King of Moab for Eighteen yours, Ehud,the son of Gera made him self a dagger, end the life of Eglon. Judges 3: 12-26, after Ehud died, there was Deborah, the prophetess.then Barak, he fight against Sisera, he ran and came tothe house of Jael; the wife of Heberthe Kenite. Jael met him, and said come in, fear not; he went in and ask for a drink of water, she gave him a glass of milk and covered him.
He gets comfortable and ask her to stand at the door and let no one in. Then Jael Heber’s wife Took a Nail of the tent and smote it in the Ear of his temple and fastened it to the ground; so he died there that day. Then you have Samson the feast, and the Riddle. Samson was a hero of Israel, his life was a Lesson of Tragedy, of self will. His marrige was a Violation of the Law. God bring out the good, according to His purpose and for Israel sake. most of his life he fall short of God Standard.His life is a warning of the danger of self indulgence. Ch. 6: 12, The Angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, and said the Lord is with thee thou mighty man of valour. He said to the Angel, Oh my Lord; if the Lord is with us, why then is all this befallen us? where is all His Miracles which our father told us a bout. When the Angel said peace be with thee; fear not; you will not die. he built on alter unto the Lord. 22- 28, Gideon ask for sign 36-40, God gave him signs. the people were pleased with his rule God work through Gideon untill his death in Ch. 8: 33-35,
