Please read Judges Chapter 19-21
Discussion
Questions
1. We
read horrific stories of abuse in these chapters. From these chapters how are women viewed and
treated in that time? What about in our
world today? How does God view women? Find scriptural references to support your
thoughts.
2. How
do you think the tribe of Benjamin could have saved themselves from almost
complete annihilation? Do you think the
rest of the tribes did the right thing in how they dealt with the tribe of
Benjamin? Why or why not?
3. Do
you see anything good that happened in these chapters? If so what are they?
1.
The Israelites, despite inquiring of the Lord, did not win
the battle with the Benjamites right away.
It took them various times of inquiring of the Lord and more deaths
before victory was theirs. How do you
deal with defeat or battles in your own life? How do you cope when you have
prayed for something for a long time and you still don’t see a
breakthrough?
2.
What have you learned from this story about the necessity of
dealing with evil and obeying God? (Question taken from Warren
Wierbse commentary)
3.
In 21:25 it says “In those days Israel had no king; everyone
did as he saw fit” If we are believers in Christ then we have a King over
us. How should knowing and believing
this impact you in your everyday living?
