The angel of the Lord at spoke him. Two. The angel of the Lord went up from Go-Gal. to Bok him and said, I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land that I swore to give to your forefathers. I said, I will never break my covenant with you. You shall not make a covenant with the people of this land,

but you shall break down their altars, yet you have disobeyed me. Why have you done this? Now therefore, I tell you that I will not draw. drive them out before you. They will be thorns in your sides. Their gods will be a snar to you. When the angel of the Lord had

spoken these things, to all the Israelites, the people wept aloud, and they called that place the O'Kim. There they offered sacrifices to the Lord, disobedience, and defeat.

After Joshua, had dismissed the Israelites. They went to take possession of the land, each to his own inheritance. The people served the Lord throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had seen all the great things the Lord had done for Israel. Joshua's son of none.

The servant of the Lord died at the age of 110. and they buried him in the land of his inheritance at Timnath Harris in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gesh. After that whole generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation grew up, who never knew neither the Lord nor what he had done for Israel. Then the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord And served the bowels They forsook The Lord The God of their fathers

breaths in his anger against Israel, the Lord handed them over to raiders who plundered them. He sold them to their enemies all around whom they were no longer able to resist. Whenever Israel went out to fight, the hand of the Lord was against them to defeat them, just as he had sworn to them. they were in great distress. Then the Lord raised up judges who saved them out of the hands of these judges, but prostituted themselves to other gods and worshipped them, unlike their fathers.

They quickly turned from the way in which their fathers had walked, the way of obedience to the Lord's command. Whenever the Lord raised up a judge for them, he was with the judge and saved them out of the hands of their enemies as long as the judge lived. For the Lord had compassion on them as they groaned under those who oppressed and afflicted them. But when the judge died, the people returned to the ways. even more corrupt than those of their fathers, following other gods and serving and worshiping them. They refuse to give up their evil practices and stubborn ways. Therefore, the Lord was very angry with Israel and said, because this nation has violated the covenant that I laid down to their forefathers.

And I has not listened to me. I will no longer draw. out before them any of the nations Joshua left when he died. I will use them to test Israel and see whither they will keep the way of the Lord and walk in it as their forefathers did. The Lord had allowed those nations to remain. He did not drive them out at once by giving them into the hands of Joshua. Three. These are the nations. The Christians the Lord left to test all those Israelites who had not experienced any of the wars in Canaan. He did this only to teach warfare to the descendants of the Israelites who had not had previous battle experience.

The five rulers of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidianians, and the Hivites living in the Lebanon, mountains from Mount Bail Harman to Labo Hamath. They were elect to test the Israelites to see whether. They would obey the Lord's commands, which he had given their forefathers through Moses. The Israelites lived among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Parasites, Hivites, and Jubicites. They took their daughters in marriage and gave their own daughters. to their sons and served their gods.

Oth Neal, their Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord. They forgot the Lord their God and served the Bals and the Asheraths. The anger of the Lord burned against Israel so that he sold them into the hands of Kushan Rishathame, king of Aram Naraharan to whom the Israelites were subject for eight years but when they cried out to the Lord he raised up for them a deliverer Othneal son of Kanez

Malab, power of Israel, getting the Amonites Amalekites to join him. Agaon came and attacked Israel and they took possession of the city of Palms. The

Israelites were subject to Aglon of Malab for 18 years. Again, the Israelites cried out to the Lord and he gave them a deliverer. A HUD, a left-handed man, the son of Geritha Benjaminite. The Israelites sent him with tribute to Eglon, King of Malab.

Now, a HUD had it made a double-edged sword, about a foot and a half long, which he strapped to his right thigh under his clothing. He presented the tribe to Aglong King of Mawab, who was a very fat man. After a HUD had presented the tribe, he sent on their way to the men who had carried, sent on their way to the men who had carried it. At the idols near Gilgau, he himself turned back and said, I have a secret message for you, O king. The king said, quiet, and all his attendants left him.

A hood then approached him while he was sitting alone in the upper room of his summer palace and said, I have a message from God for you. Has the king rose from his seat, Ahud reached with his left hand, drew the sword from his right thigh, and plunged it into the king's belly. Even the handle sank in after the blade, which became out his back.

Ahud did not pull the sword out and the fat closed in over it. Then Ahud was, went out to the porch. He shut the doors of the upper room behind him and locked him. Locked him. After he had gone, the servants came and found the doors of the upper room and locked. They said he must be relieving himself in the inner room of the house.

They waited to the point of embarrassment, but when he did not open the doors of the room, They took a key and unlocked them. They saw their lord falling to the four dead. While they waited, Ihad got away. He passed by the idols and escaped to Sirrah. When he arrived there, he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites went down with him from the hills with him leading them. Follow me, he ordered.

For the Lord, he had. has given Malab your enemy into your hands. So they followed him down and taking possession of the fords of the Jordan that led to Malab. They allowed no one to cross over.

War chariots. The Canaanites fought from heavy chariots covered with iron. These chariots were the tanks of ancient armies. War chariots could be used only on the flat ground. Non-rocky hillsides, the Israelites had no iron chariots. Did you know what were judges? 2.18. The judges of the Bible were rulers.

They led the Israelites in war. and govern them in peacetime. Let's live it. Judges 2, 6 through 23, a family history. If your parents, grandparents, uncles, and aunts are Christians, make a history book to help you remember what God means to your family. Ask your parents to get you a picture album, then get pictures of your mom and dad, your grandparents,

aunts and uncles and other relatives. Ask each relative to write you a letter about his or her life and what God has meant to him or her. Put the pictures and letters in the album, then you will never forget what God has done for your own family. It is really important to remember God. Read Judges to 10 through 23 to see what happened and when the young Israelites do not remember God.
