Can God's promises be trusted? Can He be counted on to keep His Word? God so wanted the nation of Judah to know that what He says, He will do, that He gave them a sign. It's this sign that we celebrate at Christmas and teaches us so much about the trustworthiness of our God.

Micah set up a shrine. There was no king so everyone did what was right in their own eyes. Micah appointed a Levite as his priest. Spies from Dan stayed with Micah. When the Danites went against Laish they took Micah's idol and his priest. They named the city Dan. A Levite came to Gibeah. The men of the city raped his concubine until she died. He cut up her body and sent a piece to each tribe.

The Ephraimites attacked Jephthah. Jephthah and the Gileadites defeated them and caught survivors by making them say 'Shibboleth'. The LORD gave Israel to the Philistines. The angel of the LORD told Manoah's wife that she would conceive. She named her son Samson. Samson took a Philistine wife. He killed a lion and bees made honey in the carcass. He posed a riddle but his wife explained it. Samson's wife married another man so Samson burned the Philistine crops. The Israelites bound him. He killed a thousand Philistines. Samson loved Delilah. She had his hair shaved so he lost his strength and was captured. He died pulling down the Philistine temple.
