士師記第一課：耶和華興起士師：士師記第一章至第三章
一。士師記1章：以色列攻打迦南人：
請述說以色列人如何的攻擊迦南人和比利洗人。亞多尼比色是誰？以色列人為什麼砍斷他手腳的大拇指？猶大人攻打哪座城？（但，他們沒有完全征服了它；閱讀21節。）
18節：猶大人佔領哪些城？迦___、亞___基___、以___倫。這些城都是非利士人的城。
22-26節：約瑟家怎麼能攻打伯特利？
27-36節：士師記的作者時常重複一句話，是什麼？“使（某某）人做（某某事），[但]沒有把他們全然___ ___”（或類似的話）。此記載給我們一個暗示，就是以色列人已經開始離開誰？
二。士師記2章及3:1-6：人的軟弱，主的信實：
士師記2:1-5節：主的使者帶來什麼消息告訴以色列人？
6-14節：約書亞逝世後，以色列人侍奉神多久？
約書亞的下一代的家長沒有把神為以色列所行的神跡，所賜下的恩典，所作的一切，以及他們自己個人的信仰，___ ___給他們的孩子。因此，他們“離棄了領他們出埃及地的耶和華、他們___ ___的神，去___ ___別神，就是四圍列國的神，惹耶和華___ ___”。結果，耶和華神怎麼樣對待把以色列人？
15-19節：第16節證明耶和華對所立的“約”的信實，說，“耶和華興起___ __，士師就___ ___他們脫離搶奪他們人的手”。等到該士師去世以後，以色列人就會怎麼樣？
20-23節及士師記3:1-6：神判斷以色列人已經___ ___了他們與神所立的約，因此神決定“必不再從他們面前___ ___”。主要讓所留下在迦南的異族“___ ___以色列人”。讀者，您是否在這些事件，見到一個重蹈覆轍的歷史規律，歷史循環？1）以色列人離開真神犯罪；2）真神讓異族人或外國人打敗他們；3）以色列人向神呼求；4）上帝就差遣“士師”拯救以色列人，叫他們歸回耶和華真神，重見天日；5）他們又侍奉真神一陣子；6）然後再次離開那位愛他們的神。這是士師記反覆地記載的歷史規律和循環。請把士師記二章10至23節再次研讀，特別注意此歷史格局。請把此“循環”背熟。請注意：士師記的“序言”到此為止（3:6）。今天，我們生命上是否跟以色列人的歷史一樣？我們是否越來越離開神？等到面對困難、疾病、死亡、經濟危機、私人問題等，就向神求救？等到危機過去，我們是否忘記那位垂聽禱告的神所給我們的恩典並且我們向神所許的願，再次離開神呢？
三。士師記3章：耶和華興起士師：
7-11節：第一位偉大的士師：俄陀聶。請描述俄陀聶作士師的記載。事後，國中太平幾年？
12-30節：第二位偉大的士師：以笏：以笏的特徵是什麼？他是___手的。請詳細地說明以笏如何暗殺摩押王伊磯倫。事後，國中太平幾年？（注意：也許這樣的數目被士師記的作者調整為整數。）
31節：另外一位士師：珊迦：珊迦做了什麼功績大事？

Judges/01: The Lord Raised Up Judges
Judges chapters 1-3
1. Judges ch. 1: The Israelites Defeat the Canaanites:
Describe how the Israelites attacked the Canaanites Perizzites. Who was Adoni-Bezek? Why did the Israelites cut off his thumbs and big toes? What city did Judah attack? (However, they did not completely occupy that city; see vs. 21.)
Vs. 18: What cities did Judah occupy? G___, A___ and E___. These were cities of the Philistines.
Vs. 22-26: How was the house of Joseph able to attack Bethel?
Vs. 27-36: The writer of Judges often repeated one phrase; what was it? So-and-so did such-and-such, [but] they did not d___ them o___ completely (or a similar statement). These statements give us a hint that the Israelites had already begun to leave (whom).
2. Judges ch. 2 and 3:1-6: Man’s Weakness; God’s Faithfulness:
Vs. 1-5: What message did God’s angel give the Israelites?
Vs. 6-14: How long did the Israelites serve God after the death of Joshua? The heads of families during the generation following the death of Joshua did not t___ their children about the miracles God performed for Israel, the grace he extended or all that he did for them, nor did they tell them about their own individual faith. Consequently “They forsook the LORD, the God of their f___, who had brought them out of Egypt. They followed and w___ various gods of the peoples around them. They provoked the LORD to a___.” What did God do to Israel as a result of this?
Vs. 15-19: Verse 16 proves that God was faithful to the “covenant” as it says, “Then the LORD raised up j___, who s___ them out of the hands of these raiders.” What did Israel do after these judges died?
Vs. 20-23 and ch. 3 vs. 1-6: God passed verdict that the Israelites had b___ the covenant that they had made with God, so God decided that he would no longer “I will no longer d___ out before them any of the nations…” The Lord left some Canaanite groups “to t___ Israel.” Reader, do you see a pattern in these events? 1) The Israelites forsake God and sin; 2) God allows the Canaanites and foreign peoples to defeat Israel in battle; 3) Israelites cry out to the Lord; 4) God sends “judges” to save Israel and to return to the Lord the true God; 5) They serve God for another period of time; 6) eventually they forsake God again. This is the pattern that the book of Judges records over and over. Read carefully Judges 2:10-23 once again and pay attention to the pattern. Memorize this pattern. Note: The Preface to Judges ends at this point (3:6). Do we ever see in our own lives today the same pattern that the Israelites followed? Do we go further and further away from God? Do we wait until we face problems, illness, death, economic crises, personal difficulties, etc, before we beseech God’s help? After the crisis is past, do we then forget the grace that God has extended (i.e. via answered prayer) as well as the promises we made to him, and then forsake him again?
3. Judges 3: God Raises Judges:
Vs. 7-11: The first great judge: Othniel: What Othniel do as a judge? For how many years did the land enjoy peace?
Vs. 12-30: The second great judge: Ehud: What was different about Ehud? He was l___-handed. Describe in detail how Ehud assassinated Eglon king of Moab. For how many years did the country have peace? (Note: Perhaps the author of Judges rounded off these numbers.)
Vs. 31: Another judge: Shamgar: What great feat did Shamgar perform?
