In this Bible Story, civil war breaks out between the tribe of Benjamin and the rest of the Israelites. Yet God is faithful and promises to restore Benjamin and the city of Gilead. This story is inspired by Judges 20-21. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.

Today's Bible verse is Judges 21:6 from the King James Version.

Episode 72: Disgusted and terrified at what had happened in Benjamin, the rest of Israel had decided to assemble and seek the will of God for what they should do. As one nation, the 11 other tribes rose against the tribe of Benjamin. Peaceful negotiations were fruitless and war ensued. Battle after battle, Israel lost to the tribe of Benjamin until God gave them victory. But no celebration followed this victory, instead, there was mourning as Israel had brought one of its brothers to the brink of extinction. Our vengeance, if even for a right cause often brings more harm than good.
