The reading for Monday, March 6, 2023 , is Judges 2 - 4
With the book of Judges we see a cycle of unfaithfulness and repentance. With each repentance comes a new Judge. I don't really understand why they are called Judges. They seem more like leaders or heroes. They are also fallible humans.
The first judge is Othniel. I've just realized that this is the same man who won the hand of Caleb's daughter.
Ehud, the second judge, is noted to be a left-handed man and uses this to his advantage.
And one of the judges was a woman, Deborah!! Another woman, Jael, kills the man, Sisera, that Barak is seeking to kill. Jael gets the credit, not Barak.
