Judges 10:6-18; Judges 11:1-40 INTRODUCTION: This is the fifth oppression and deliverance in the book of Judges and things keep getting worse. Israel served the gods of those surrounding them and forsook the true God (Judges 10:6). The Lord initially refused to send help, telling them to get help from the gods they served (Judges 10:13-14). The deliverer was not of noble birth (as Othniel), or even the least of his family (as Gideon). The deliverer was the son of a harlot who had been rejected by his own family (Judges 11:1-3). The victory was tainted by the offering of Jephthah’s daughter (Judges 11:31, 39). Jephthah judged Israel for only six years (Judges 12:7). Compare this to the forty years of Gideon (Judges 8:28).
Time is short (see 2 Kings 10:32). The application is clear. How long can we play games with God and get by with it? He is gracious, but at some point, His grace ends.
