Judges 20
I read about how the Israel-ites fighted the Benjamites (one of Israel's tribes) and how God gave instructions for them to fight the Benjamites to purge the evil from Israel. For they have raped and murdered the Levite's wife when he was in Gibeah. God only gave them victory on the third day of battle. I guess God wanted them to learn how to trust in Him even in difficult times. How He still gave them victory over the Benjamites on the third day.
Judges 21The Israelites took an oath to not give any of their daughters in marriage to the Benjamites. But interestingly, they wept and cried when they think about the future of the Benjamites. I guess God gave them this compassion over their brothers. Also, they sent a peace offering to the people of the Benjamites hiding on the rocks of Rimmon. People of those days did not have any king and that they did as they saw fit.
And the remaining Benjamites went back with their wives to their inheritance and rebuilt their city.
Ruth 1
An introduction to the character of Ruth the Moabitess and her mother-in-law Naomi. Ruth is a faithful woman who stuck with Naomi even though her husband is dead. There was a famine and so Naomi and Ruth headed back to Bethleham from Moab.
