Israel isn't fighting a foreign enemy this time. They're fighting each other.

In Judges 19–21, one horrific event leads to civil war, thousands of deaths, and the tribe of Benjamin nearly being wiped out.

“In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as they saw fit.” — Judges 21:25 NIV

Join me as we read through these final chapters together.

Samson’s story comes to a powerful end, but Israel’s troubles are far from over. Join me as we read through Judges 16–18, from Samson and Delilah to Micah, the Levite, and the tribe of Dan.

Samson was chosen by God before he was even born, but his incredible strength didn’t always come with wisdom.

In Judges 13–15, we follow the beginning of his complicated journey through calling, temptation, betrayal, revenge, and God’s purpose at work through it all.

Israel has turned away from God again—and when oppression becomes too much to bear, they cry out for His help.

In Judges 10–12, we meet Jephthah, a man rejected by his own family and driven away, only to be called back when Israel needs someone to lead them.

But Jephthah’s story doesn’t end with victory. A vow changes everything, and what follows becomes one of the most difficult moments in the book of Judges.

As Gideon's story continues, we begin to see how success can give way to pride and compromise. After his death, Israel once again turns away from the Lord, and Abimelech's hunger for power leads to betrayal, violence, and judgment.

After Joshua's death, the Israelites gradually turn away from God, compromise with the nations around them, and begin doing what is right in their own eyes.

Read along with me as we explore the opening chapters of the Book of Judges and discover how these events set the stage for the rest of Israel's history.

In this powerful conclusion to the Book of Joshua, we witness the final moments of a legendary leader. As the tribes of Israel settle into the Promised Land, Joshua leaves them with more than just territory—he leaves them with a profound choice that will define their future.

In this episode of Spoken Words | Bible Journey, we dive into Joshua 22-24, covering:

Welcome back to the podcast! In today's episode, we wrap up the major geographical distributions in the Book of Joshua by covering chapters 19, 20, and 21.
