Judges 21 · Grade 2

A Sad Ending

Name Date

Read the Story

After the war, the people came to Bethel. They cried loudly. They asked God why one tribe was missing from Israel. They built an altar and gave gifts to God.

Before the war, the men had made a promise. They said they would not let their daughters marry men of Benjamin. Now they were sorry. Only six hundred men of Benjamin were left. Israel did more wrong things to try to fix it. They took young women for Benjamin without asking.

Then everyone went home to his own land. The book of Judges ends this way. In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes. Israel needed to follow God.
