This is part of a year long reading of the Bible chronologically in a harmonized format.Judges 20:1 - 21:25The tribes of Israel unite against Benjamin after the Levite's concubine is abused, leading to civil war and near destruction of Benjamin.Israel provides wives for surviving Benjamites through raids on Jabesh-Gilead and Shiloh to preserve the tribe.Matthew 23:37-39Jesus laments over Jerusalem for killing prophets and rejecting him, expressing desire to protect them like a hen her chicks.He declares their house desolate and predicts they will not see him again until they say "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord."Mark 12:38-40Jesus warns against scribes who seek honor in public, wear long robes, and devour widows' houses while making long prayers.He states they will receive greater condemnation for their hypocrisy and exploitation.
