It just keeps getting crazier over here in Judge land. We have a faux-judge to start things off with Abimelech. He once again is showing us the Israel is not getting better. Two minor judges and then we end with Jephthah. He seems to start strong, then goes a little astray, or a lot astray. Millstones can be a variety of sizes. Some turned by a donkey, others by hand.

Get ready this is quite a crazy episode. We look at the best two judges Ehud and Shamgar. Scripture that will be covered is judges 3:12-31. We also briefly look at the Moab/Ammon beginning that gives some backdrop into the book itself.

Follow the map below - note where the Moabites come from. Note where they set up shop in Jericho. Ehud flees to Seirah and then brings the army down to finish the job (green line). Most of the lines are "guesses" but show likely routes. Credit: Logos.com - pick it up for some useful Bible study tools!
