Day 127 - Read Judges 20-21

The people of Israel gathered together and prepared to fight the people of Benjamin. The warriors of Benjamin defeated Israel in two battles, but God sent them a third time with a promise to give them victory. The men of Israel obeyed God and defeated the people of Benjamin. There were men of Benjamin that were saved who were not evil. Israel sought to bring them back into fellowship with the rest of Israel, but they were left with no wives because they were not spared during battle. Wives for the men of Benjamin were gathered from the people of Jabesh-gilead, and from the daughters of Shiloh. There was no king in Israel in those days, and everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
