Judges Chapters 17-19

In this episode, we read Judges chapters 17–19. These chapters reveal the troubling spiritual and moral decline of Israel during the time of the judges. We see Micah’s household idols, the tribe of Dan seeking their own way apart from God, and a shocking account of violence and sin in Gibeah. These stories highlight the dangers of a nation turning from God, reminding us of the repeated phrase in this book: “Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.”
