Places
Sidon in Judges 3
SY-dun
This place shows up in Judges 3:3: “the five lords of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Judges 3:3
“the five lords of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to the entrance of Hamath.”
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 3:3 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
