士師記第八課：個人任憑而行（下）：士師記第十九章至第二十一章
一。士師記19至21章：以色列人內戰：
請先閱讀士師記19章至21章。此段記載又是一個可悲的故事，讓我們知道當時以色列人的道德觀很低；“那時，以色列中沒有王，各人任意而行”。注意年間：士師記20章27-28節讓我們知道，那時，亞倫的孫子、以利亞撒的兒子非尼哈侍還活着。
二。士師記19章：利未人和他的妾：
利未人應該是侍奉神的。如果利未人已經這樣陷入了泥沼，不知道別人如何！士師記19章至21章讓我們知道一部分人道德情況如何。
1節：“一個利未人，娶了一個猶大伯利恆的女子為___”。在舊約《聖經》時代，有人娶妾，但是，神原來的“家庭計劃”是一男一女，一夫一妻（參創世記2:23-24；出埃及記20:14）。今天，基督徒娶妾為罪；一夫多妻和一妻多夫都是罪（參馬太福音5:31-32；19:3-12；哥林多前書7章）。
2節：女士對利未人怎麼樣？（注意：和合本“妾行淫離…”和普通話本“他的妾與他吵嘴…”翻譯很不一樣；此文接受和合本。）
3-10節：請述說丈夫如何前往岳父家把妾接回來。
11-21節：在耶布斯的時候，發生什麼事？（此事讓我們回想到創世記裡面的誰？羅___。創世記第___章。）那些惡棍有什麼計謀？家主反應如何？你認為家主怎麼會這樣做？你認為利未人怎麼會這樣做？你認為，當晚利未人睡著了沒有？為什麼？第二天，利未人發現妾已經___了。利未人回了家後，作什麼？你對此事想法如何？此事是否很諷刺？譬如，利未人指責別人道德懶散，但是他自己呢？
三。士師記20章：十一打一：
一節：“從但到別是巴”意思相當於從南道北，從哈爾濱到昆明，從波士頓到洛杉磯。請在地圖上指出“但”和“別是巴”。
1-48節：請詳細的描述以色列人如何對待便雅憫人。第一天有多少人死？第二天？第三天？
35節：最後，多少便雅憫人死了？
47節：幾位逃跑了？逃跑到哪裡？
16節：“甩石”：NIV Study Bible 告訴我們當時的軍人甩的石頭有400多克重；可甩的速度有150-160公里快kph (90-100 mph)。(The NIV Study Bible, New International Version, Kenneth Barker, General Editor. Grand Rapids, MI, USA: Zondervan Bible Publishers, 1985, s. v. Judges 20:16, p. 360.)
四。士師記21章：十一協助一：
1節：以色列人曾經起了什麼誓？打完戰後，以色列人“悲痛地放聲大哭”（普通話本）——是為了何事？請比較以色列人在士師記20:23, 26及在士師記21:2-3的兩種態度。以色列人發現便雅憫人面對什麼問題？請詳細的述說以色列人怎麼樣解決這個問題。
25節：最後，士師記的作者下了什麼結論？
請您對士師記所記載的歷史下一個結論。

Judges/08: “Everyone Did as He Saw Fit” /02
Judges Chapters nineteen through twenty-one
1. Judges 19-21: Domestic Warfare:
First read Judges 19-21. Once again we have a very sad story that shows us to what a low level of morality the Israelites had fallen; “In those days, Israel had no king; everyone did as he saw fit.” Note time frame: Phinehas, son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, was still alive, as noted in Judges 20:27-28.
2.Judges 19: A Levite and His Concubine:
The Levites were supposed to serve God. If the Levites had sunk this far into the mud, what about other people! Judges 19-21 shows us the moral situation of some of the people.
V. 1: “Now a Levite who lived in a remote area in the hill country of Ephraim took a c__________ from Bethlehem in Judah.” Some men took concubines during the Old Testament period, however, God’s original plan for the home was one man/one woman, one husband/one wife (see Genesis 2:23-24; Exodus 20:14). Today, it is a sin for a Christians to take a concubine; both polygyny and polyandry are sins (see Matthew 5:31-32; 19:2-12; 1 Corinthians ch. 7).
V. 2: What did the woman do? (Note: The Union Version and the Putonghua Version translate this very differently; the Union Version says she committed adultery; the Putonghua Version says they had an argument. This lesson follows the Union Version. [Compare the KJV, RSV, NIV and NRSV for these same differences in English.])
Vs. 3-10: Describe how the husband went to the house of his father-in-law and got his concubine.
Vs. 11-21: What happened in Jebus? (Of what in Genesis does this remind us? L___. Genesis ch. ____.) What did those scoundrels have in mind? What the host’s reaction? In your opinion, how was the host able to do what he did? In your opinion, how could the Levite do what he did? Do you think the Levite slept soundly that night? Why? The next morning, the Levite discovered that his concubine was d____. What did he do after he returned home? What are your thoughts about all of this? Do you see any irony in this story? For example, the Levite scolded everyone else for their moral lethargy, but what about himself?
3.Joshua 20: Eleven Against One:
V. 1: “From Dan to Beersheba” means the same as from north to south, from Harbin to Kunming, from Boston to Los Angeles. Find Dan and Beersheba on a map.
Vs. 1-48: Tell in detail how the Israelites dealt with the Benjamites. How many people were killed on the first day? On the second day? On the third day?
V. 35: In the end, how many Benjamites died?
V. 47: How many escaped? To where did they escape?
V. 16: “Sling a stone”: The NIV Study Bible tells us that in those days, soldiers slung stones that weighed 400 grams or more and were slung at a speed of 150 to 160 kph (90-100 mph). (The NIV Study Bible, New International Version, Kenneth Barker, General Editor. Grand Rapids, MI, USA: Zondervan Bible Publishers, 1985, s. v. Judges 20:16, p. 360.)
4.Judges 21: Eleven Assist One:
V. 1: What oath had the Israelites taken? After the battle, why did the Israelites weep bitterly? [The Chinese quotation is from the Putonghua Version.] Compare the attitude of the Israelites in Judges 20:23, 26 with their attitude in Judges 21:2-3. What problem did the Israelites realize the Benjamites faced? Explain in detail how the Israelites solved this problem.
V. 25: With what conclusion did the author of Judges end the book? To what conclusion to you come regarding all that is recorded in Judges?
