Judges 17 - 18
JudgesSteve Gregg
In this discussion by Steve Gregg, Judges 17-18 is examined as an appendix to the Book of Judges featuring a disconnected series of stories. The first story introduces a man, Micah, who creates his own religious shrine with idols and hires a Levite as his priest, despite the Levites being called upon to serve God in a different capacity. The story of Micah demonstrates the moral confusion and lack of faith among the people of Israel during Joshua’s era, and is followed by another story about the Danites who steal land from the peaceful people of Laish, aided by the same Levite from Micah’s household. The discussion highlights the importance of following God’s laws and fulfilling one's duties in service to Him.
