this site did not help me. this is not even a summary.

chrisjuby

Sorry to hear, Spike. What were you hoping for?

Spike

just doing some project for my bible class. need a summary of Judges 4 ans this did not help me. i'm sorry.

Joy

This is mere reading a Bible. I need explanation for the chapter.

chrisjuby

You're right - this project is about reading and summarising the Bible rather than explaining it.

It sounds like you're looking for a Bible commentary. You could try Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary. There are other commentaries on the same website.

Spike

I really need the major truths in Judges 4 soon. My project is due tomorrow. Please reply soon. i'll check this site in the morning.

chrisjuby

Try asking yourself questions like:

- What do we learn about God in this chapter?
- What do we learn about Israel?
- What do we learn about leadership?
- What are the ways in which we're similar to the characters in the chapter?

If you answer those you'll have some good material for your project.

Spike

okay thanks. this helps. i never thought of these questions.

hey, i might needed some major truths about the whole book of Hosea. another project. (my teacher is really into projects.) so do you think you cam help me with Hosea? Cause you help me with Judges 4.

thanks again!!!!

Spike

What are some major truths in the whole book of Hosea?

chrisjuby

It's a while since I last read Hosea, but the main theme is that God is faithful even when his people are unfaithful.

I'll be starting the book of Hosea here in about two weeks. You could read along with me and we can discuss the main points in each chapter if you like.

If that's not soon enough, you could use similar questions to the ones I suggested for Judges 4 to get you started.

Spike

This project is due in like 3 weeks. i'm close to the end, but i need major truths.
thanks, though

Spike

i would like to walk through it with you. i think it would be good for me. This could be my chance to grow in my faith. i just got over my rebellion stage. trying to get back on track.

Spike

is that okay with you?

chrisjuby

Hi Spike, yes, that's great! I'll be starting Daniel tomorrow and Hosea after that. Post a comment or question after the chapters that interest you and we can talk about what they mean.

Spike

What is the date there? Its December 5, 2012 here in the Philippines. I'm from Unites States.

chrisjuby

Skyler

i need the major points for Deborah. what makes her intrepid i need the answer by today. it is really important the project is due on Tuesday. please help me ASAP i really really need it please please please

chrisjuby

Hi Skyler, here are a few questions that will hopefully help you with your paper:

- How is Deborah described in Judges 4 verses 4 and 5? What kind of person do you think she was?
- Is Deborah shy in the way she asks to see Barak in verse 6?
- Barak is afraid to go to battle (verse 8). How does Deborah respond?
- What happens after Deborah encourages Barak in verse 14?
- What does Deborah sing about herself in Judges 5 verse 7?

Carole

Deborah prophesied that the Lord would deliver Sisera into the hands of a woman and it would not be her hands, but it was into the hands of Jael, Hebers wife.

What do you make of this chapter? What do you think of my summary? How would you summarise it?

Chris Juby

I summarised all 1,189 chapters of the Bible on Twitter - one tweet per chapter, one chapter per day for over three years.

These are the summaries of the book of Judges.

They are written to help you understand and remember what's going on in the chapter, but they're no substitute for reading the Bible for yourself.

Find out about the project here, you can buy the Bible Summary book on Kindle or in paperback, and feel free to get in contact if you have any comments or questions.
