Episode Details

Today's reading covers Judges 21 and Proverbs 16:13–16, closing out the book of Judges. The reflection follows the disastrous aftermath of the war against Benjamin — a rash vow leading to the raid on Jabesh-Gilead and the kidnapping of the daughters of Shiloh — as further evidence of the moral chaos summed up in the book's closing line, "everyone did what was right in his own eyes." In Proverbs 16:13–16, the discussion covers the value of righteous speech before a king, the danger of a king's wrath versus the favor found in his goodwill, and the reminder that wisdom is worth more than gold or silver.
