Judges 20:1-48

20:1 | The Israelites were so enraged by what occurred at Gibeah that they gathered – united in heart and mind (as one man) – to deliver justice. This is one of the few encouragements amid story after story of Israel’s descent into apostasy.

20:27 | This is the only reference to the ark of the covenant in the Book of Judges. This reflects how seldom the Israelites consulted God during this time. The heinous crime recorded in Judges 19 opened the people’s eyes to their spiritual need, although God’s children should never require such extreme circumstances to seek Him.

20:29-48 | Despite how far Israel had fallen away from their faith, Yahweh still orchestrated their battle and brought justice against Benjamin.
