History of Israel: Gideon, Abimelech and the Failure of Man
Episode 67
Monday, 31 August, 2026

Judges, as a book, is about man's failure and inability to follow God. Nowhere better do we see this than the stories of Gideon and Abimelech. Gideon goes from great faithfulness and victory to idolatry in almost the blink of an eye. This leads to what is considered his legacy in his son Abimelech. In the end, it's a failure for everyone involved when they don't follow the Lord.If you are enjoying Bible Backdrop, please leave a 5-star rating and review.
