Explained for Children
Imagine you're playing a game and the other team is making it really hard for you to win. You might feel like giving up, but instead, you ask your coach for help. That's what the Israelites did when the Midianites were causing them trouble—they asked God for help.
Historical Background
The book of Judges was written by an unknown author, probably during the time of King David or Solomon, to document the history of Israel during the period of the Judges. The audience was the Israelites who needed to remember their history and the faithfulness of God in times of distress.
