Judges Chapter 20

Judges

jdg 20:0

The tribe of Benjamin nearly extirpated.

Judges 20:1

jdg 20:1

The Israelites' abhorrence of the crime committed at Gibeah, and their resolution to punish the criminals, were right; but they formed their resolves with too much haste and self-confidence. The eternal ruin of souls will be worse, and more fearful, than these desolations of a tribe.
