Judges 1
Commentary
Judges 1 is the first chapter of the book of Judges in the Hebrew Bible. It tells the story of the Israelites’ conquest of the land of Canaan, which was promised to them by God. The chapter begins with the Israelites asking the Lord for guidance in their conquest of the land. The Lord responds by telling them to go up and take possession of the land, and to drive out the inhabitants. The Israelites then proceed to do so, with the help of the tribes of Judah and Simeon. The chapter then goes on to describe the various battles that the Israelites fought in order to take possession of the land. In each battle, the Israelites are victorious, and they are able to take possession of the land. However, the chapter also notes that the Israelites were not able to drive out all of the inhabitants of the land. This is because some of the inhabitants had chariots of iron, which made them too powerful for the Israelites to defeat. The chapter ends with a summary of the Israelites’ success in taking possession of the land. It notes that the Israelites were able to take possession of the land from the sea to the river, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates. This is a significant accomplishment, as it shows that the Israelites were able to take possession of the entire land that God had promised them. Overall, Judges 1 is an important chapter in the Bible, as it tells the story of the Israelites’ conquest of the land of Canaan. It also serves as a reminder of God’s faithfulness to His people, as He had promised them the land and enabled them to take possession of it.
