Judges 3-5

[wolfpurplemoon]

God dizzily alternates between furious wrath (selling his people into slavery in anger) at his rules not being followed and helping them free themselves again (with much bloodshed). They must be so happy to be his chosen people.

* A rather nasty murder, this woman Deborah hides a battle weary man in her tent and then kills him by driving tent pegs into his head while he sleeps.

Just to offer some perspective, those three chapters offer 206 years of history most of which were peaceful years under the rule of the judges 160yrs. Seen that way it doesn't seem too dizzying.
