Explained for Children
Imagine a leader of a big group of people, like the captain of a team. This leader, named Abdon, fell asleep forever, just like when we close our eyes at night. He was laid to rest in a place called Pirathon, which was on a big hill where another group of people used to live.
Historical Background
The Book of Judges was written by various authors, possibly including Samuel, around the 10th century BC.
