Apostasy and the Judges
In Judges 3.1-6. There is a cycle of sin and restoration that everyone goes through. First they sin, God punishes them by allowing oppression by the inhabitant of the land. The people repent of their sins and then God raise up a judge to rescue the. Then the vicious cycle repeats itself. This is very similar in the Christian life. We sin, God allows us affliction in our life, we repent, God delivers us.




Othniel, Ehud, and Shamgar
In Judges 3.7-11, the people are oppressed by the Mesopotomites and delivered by Othniel.
In Judges 3.12-25, the people are oppressed by the Moabites and are delivered by Ehud killing Eglon, the king of Moab.
In Judges 3.26-32, the people are oppressed again by the Moabites and are delivered this time by Shamgar.
