Places
Sidon in Judges 1
SY-dun
This place shows up in Judges 1:31: “Asher didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik,…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Judges 1:31
“Asher didn’t drive out the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob;”
What kids can learn
When you hear sidon in Judges, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Judges 1:31 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
