Judges


Let's keep learning about the other Books of History in the Old Testament.

We already learned about Joshua.

Next up is Judges.

After Joshua dies at the beginnng of the book of Judges, the people of Israel start to disobey God.
So God sends them many different rulers over many years, to serve as Judges for his people.

Some of them are very famous, like:

Gideon - A great warrior for God who led only a few hundred men to battle and defeated thousands.

Samson - A warrior for God that was so strong he couldn't be defeated unless his hair was cut.
He once killed a lion with his bare hands!
