Judges (Book 7)

The tribes of Judah and Simeon defend Israel against the Caananites.

The second generation of Israel (mentioned in Numbers 26), the people that were born in the wilderness dies out. A new generation of Israel populates Caanan, and they embrace idol worship.

The generation of Israel born in the wilderness dies out in chapter 2. This new generation of Israel embraces the gods of Caanan.

Deborah, a respected married prophetess, is the first female judge. Deborah and Barak leads Israel through a successful war. Jael, another married woman, impales army captain Sisera's head with a tent nail.

Deborah and Balak sing the Bible's first drill song, with lyrics honoring the deaths of Israel's opposition.

An angel of the Lord speaks with Gideon.

Gideon is instructed by God to gather a mere 300 men of Israel to fight against the countless multitude of the enemy.

The tribe of Ephriam gets angry with Gideon for not calling them to war at the beginning, even though they were called.

Abimelech, one of Gideon's sons, becomes Isreal's first king.....dishonestly ☹️

Israel returns to idol worship, the Ammonites begin to vex Israel badly on both sides of the Jordan!
