starting from the time I appointed judges to rule my people Israel. And I will defeat all your enemies.“‘ Furthermore, I declare that the Lord will build a house for you— a dynasty of kings!

ever since the day I ordered judges to be over my people Israel. I will also subdue all your enemies.“‘ Furthermore, I declare to you that the LORD himself will build a house for you.

The Lord became angry with the Israelites. So he handed them over to robbers. The robbers stole everything from them. The Lord handed the Israelites over to their enemies all around them. Israel wasn’t able to fight against them anymore and win.When the Israelites went out to fight, the Lord’ s power was against them. He let their enemies win the battle over them. The Lord had warned them that it would happen. And now they were suffering terribly.Then the Lord gave them leaders. The leaders saved them from the power of those robbers.But the people wouldn’t listen to their leaders. They weren’t faithful to the Lord. They served other gods and worshiped them. They didn’t obey the Lord’ s commands as their people before them had done. They quickly turned away from the path their people had taken.When the Lord gave them a leader, he was with that leader. The Lord saved the people from the power of their enemies. He did it as long as the leader lived. The Lord felt very sorry for the people. They groaned because of what their enemies did to them. Their enemies treated them badly.

That is what your enemies have done ever since I appointed leaders over my people Israel. But I will give you peace and rest from all of them.“‘ “I tell you that I, the Lord, will set up a royal house for you.

I will crush the king’s enemies. I will completely destroy them.

There weren’t any blacksmiths in the whole land of Israel. That’s because the Philistines had said,“ The Hebrews might hire them to make swords or spears!”So all the Israelites had to go down to the Philistines. They had to go to them to get their plows, hoes, axes and sickles sharpened.

The Philistines gathered together to fight against Israel. They had 3,000 chariots and 6,000 chariot drivers. Their soldiers were as many as the grains of sand on the seashore. They went up and camped at Mikmash. It was east of Beth Aven.The Israelites saw that their army was in deep trouble. So they hid in caves. They hid among bushes and rocks. They also hid in pits and empty wells.

Christ must rule until he has put all his enemies under his control.

The Lord says to my lord,“ Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your control.”

Shiphrah and Puah had respect for God. So he gave them families of their own.

You, the king, will capture all your enemies. Your right hand will take hold of them.When you appear for battle, you will burn them up like they were in a flaming furnace. The Lord will swallow them up in his great anger. His fire will burn them up.

If the Lord doesn’t build a house, the work of the builders is useless. If the Lord doesn’t watch over a city, it’s useless for those on guard duty to stand watch over it.

You made them turn their backs and run away. So I destroyed my enemies.They cried out for help. But there was no one to save them. They called out to the Lord. But he didn’t answer them.I beat them as fine as dust blown by the wind. I stomped on them like mud in the streets.You saved me when my own people attacked me. You made me the ruler over nations. People I didn’t know serve me now.People from other lands bow down to me in fear. As soon as they hear me, they obey me.All of them give up hope. They come trembling out of their hiding places.The Lord lives! Give praise to my Rock! Give honor to God my Savior!He is the God who pays back my enemies. He brings the nations under my control.He saves me from my enemies. You have honored me more than them. You have saved me from a man who wanted to hurt me.Lord, I will praise you among the nations. I will sing the praises of your name.The Lord helps his king win great battles. He shows his faithful love to his anointed king. He shows it to David and to his family forever.

Each year the people planted their crops. When they did, the Midianites came into the country and attacked it. So did the Amalekites and other tribes from the east.They camped on the land. They destroyed the crops all the way to Gaza. They didn’t spare any living thing for Israel. They didn’t spare sheep or cattle or donkeys.The Midianites came up with their livestock and tents. They came like huge numbers of locusts. It was impossible to count the men and their camels. They came into the land to destroy it.The Midianites made the Israelites very poor. So they cried out to the Lord for help.

So the Lord was very angry with Israel. He handed them over to the power of Cushan- Rishathaim, the king of Aram Naharaim. For eight years Israel was under his rule.

Jabin used 900 chariots that had some iron parts. He treated the Israelites very badly for 20 years. So they cried out to the Lord for help.
