Judges 11; Judges 12; Judges 13; Judges 14; Judges 15; Judges 16
Jephthah is chosen as the captain of the armies of Israel. The Ammonites assail Israel in war. Jephthah is guided by the Spirit and defeats Ammon with a great slaughter. He makes a rash vow, which leads to the sacrifice of his only daughter. The Gileadites slay 42,000 Ephraimites. Jephthah, Ibzan, Elon, and Abdon each in turn judge Israel. Israel is in Philistine bondage for forty years. An angel comes to Manoah’s wife and promises a son who will begin to deliver Israel. The angel comes again; he ascends in a flame from the altar. Samson is born, and the Spirit of the Lord moves upon him. Samson slays a young lion with his bare hands. He marries a Philistine wife, propounds a riddle, is deceived by his wife, and slays thirty Philistines. Samson burns the grain of the Philistines. They burn his wife and father-in-law-Samson slays a thousand Philistines at Lehi with the jawbone of an ass. Samson carries away the doors of the gate of Gaza. He loves Delilah, who delivers him to the Philistines. He destroys a building, killing himself and 3,000 others.
