Judges 19 - 21
JudgesSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg provides an analysis of Judges 19-21, cautioning against interpreting the stories as attempting to make a broader point about the pitfalls of having a monarchy. The character in the story, while not significant in the grand scheme of things, is depicted as a rotten individual. The high value placed on hospitality in Middle Eastern culture is highlighted when a man offers his daughters to be abused instead of his guests, but the act is still deemed offensive today. Eventually, Israel mobilizes against the tribe of Benjamin and conquer them, and the story serves to vindicate the wrongs committed.
