iron in Judges 1
EYE-urn
This thing shows up in Judges 1:19: “Yahweh was with Judah; and drove out the inhabitants of the hill country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley,…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Judges 1:19
“Yahweh was with Judah; and drove out the inhabitants of the hill country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.”
What kids can learn
When you hear iron in Judges, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
