salt in Judges 9
SALT
This thing shows up in Judges 9:45: “Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and killed the people in it. He beat down the city, and sowed it…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Judges 9:45
“Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and killed the people in it. He beat down the city, and sowed it with salt.”
What kids can learn
When you hear salt in Judges, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read Judges 9:45 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
