Document Summary
In each case: israel sins (mainly by worshipping the pagan gods), then they are punished (blessing and punishment comes, oppression by the enemy), Israel calls out to god, god brings a leader/judge, then there is victory and some sort of peace, and then the cycle starts all over again. This is caused because there was no king in israel. The way these stories eventually get solved is god"s choice of a king: david. Judges 5:7 because you arose, deborah, arose as a mother in israel . Jewish publ society: arose, o mother in israel . Mother of israel (parallel to fathers of israel) Vs. 31 if you will give the ammonites into my hand, then whoever/whatever comes out of the doors of my house to me shall be a burnt offering. Vs 34: there was his daughter coming out to meet him with timbrels and dancing. He says he has to keep his vow.
