Judges Chapters 20-21

In this episode, we read Judges chapters 20–21. Israel responds to the grievous sin committed in Gibeah, leading to a devastating civil war against the tribe of Benjamin. Though justice is sought, the conflict nearly wipes out a whole tribe of God’s people. Yet, even in the midst of brokenness and sorrow, the final chapters of Judges show Israel’s struggle for restoration and survival. These passages serve as a sobering reminder of the consequences when people turn away from God and do what is right in their own eyes.
