CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

Judges 20

All Israel gathers to hear the Levite’s accusation and demands that Benjamin surrender the wicked men of Gibeah. Benjamin refuses and instead musters for war. Israel suffers devastating defeats in the first two battles despite seeking the LORD, then fasts, offers sacrifices, and inquires again. On the third day Israel uses an ambush and destroys nearly the entire tribe of Benjamin, leaving only six hundred men alive at the rock Rimmon.
